Ladies of Forward, we have some lovely neighbors at The BreakAway. There are about 16 ladies living there and we want them to feel welcomed to come to worship with us at Forward (they live just a block away). To get to know them better, we are providing a meal and eating with them on the 4th Sunday of each month at 6pm.
We will have a special holiday meal in early December for the ladies.
There is a sign up sheet at the Welcome Center for about 4 ladies each month to put together a meal to take and share! For questions text or call Tonia Hatfield 502-724-6395.

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.
