Last Saturday was the Women’s Farm to Table Experience and we had a great turnout! Thank you to the Neal family for hosting this event and to all those who helped make this day so special for the ladies.
This Sunday, September 1st, the Sunday School class begins a 16-week study on the Sermon on the Mount. This week’s lesson will begin by looking at chapter 5. We will study the setting, what took place before the setting, the focus of the message, what Jesus modeled, how should we think of ourselves and more.
This class is open to all and meets Sunday mornings from 9-10am in the classroom behind the Worship Center. Contact Dave Hollander at dgchollander@yahoo.com with any questions.
Our church-wide Bible study, The Steps to Freedom in Christ, met this past Wednesday evening. It was a fantastic turnout and such a powerful lesson about our identity in Christ.
This is a video led Bible study by Pastor Neil who walks us through personal reflection and group discussion from the workbook.
It’s not too late to sign up for the study! Just show up this Wednesday evening at the church. We meet from 6:30-8:30pm.
There are a few workbooks left to purchase at the Welcome Desk for only $7 or you can click the link below to purchase the workbook now.

Women of Forward, helping with Breakaway meals is a great way you can get involved in the community. Each month we are honored to serve the ladies at the Breakaway house, which is located just down the road from Forward Church. Volunteers from our church provide a meal and visit for a couple of hours with the ladies that live there.
Typically we need 4-5 women to serve. Our next dates for serving will be the Sundays of September 15th and October 13th. If you are able to help, please stop by the Welcome Desk and sign up. For any questions, email Tonia Hatfield at Hatfield912@gmail.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.
