BIBLE BUDDIES
Our forkids’ kids have “adopted” a Bible Buddy to read their Bible to or with over the summer.
We will be doing weekly “check-ins” on social media where families can enter to win a door prize if they respond. Things like “What’s the Name of Your Buddy”, “Share Your Favorite Story From the Reading This Week”, etc.
We are SO excited about Bible Buddies! They will be such a fun way to dive into God’s word!
Lunch with the Leaders is coming up! This will be a time that those who are new to Forward can come and get to know the leaders of the church and have lunch with them right after service!
The first will be on Sunday, July 18th and the second will be on Sunday, July 25th. If you’ve just started coming to Forward in the past year and a half please click the button below that corresponds to the date you would want to attend!

MASK MANDATE LIFTED
Due to the Governor’s latest orders, we are no longer enforcing that face masks be worn into and throughout the building. This will be left up to each individuals preferences as to whether or not you would like to wear one.
We will continue to watch for any possible changes to this order in the future by local or state authorities.

Chest Of Joash
The Chest of Joash provides an opportunity to give above and beyond the normal tithe. The money from it goes directly to work needed done on our building.
In 2 Chronicles 24 we find Joash repairing the temple and a chest was set outside of it for people to bring a tithe that was used to pay the workers restoring the temple. Verse 10 says, “And all the princes and all the people rejoiced and brought their tax and dropped it into the chest until they had finished.”
A huge THANK YOU to all of you who have joyfully donated just as the Israelite officials and people did!
You can give to the Chest of Joash by clicking the button below and selecting “Chest of Joash” in the drop down menu.
