Local Uptown New Albany businesses will be hosting a “Back In School Event” to benefit the community. This event will be Saturday, August 10th, held in Forward Church parking lot, from 11am-1pm. There will be several booths set up with free donations such as haircuts, health screenings, and food.
Forward Church family, you can get involved by setting up booths. So if you have an idea for a booth, this could include game booths, food booths, or other free services that would benefit the community, reach out to Pastor Neil. You can also contact him at neil@forwardchurchfamily.com.

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.
