Celebration Sunday is FULL of life at Forward! 🙌🔥

We had so much to celebrate: honoring the years of love, dedication, and impact Miss Roxie has poured into our kids, celebrating a precious baby dedication, and welcoming new members into the Forward family!

This is what a growing church looks like. Generations being poured into. Families being celebrated. People finding home.

Forward is active, alive, and growing — and we’re just getting started! 💙

Journey Forward was such a great morning! 🙌

We loved getting to connect, share the heart of Forward, and celebrate what God is doing in our growing church.

A huge shoutout to Phil, Tammy, Kim, and Mary for the amazing breakfast and beautiful setup. Y’all made the morning feel so welcoming!

God is growing His church, and we’re grateful to be part of it. 💙

Sometimes the thing we keep carrying starts carrying us.

Pastor Lloyd reminded us that Jesus didn’t come to manage our chains, He came to break them. What happened may have hurt deeply, but it does not get to have the final word over who we become.

There is freedom on the other side of release. 🙌

What a powerful Celebration Sunday at Forward. 🙌

Altars were filled with people laying down bitterness, releasing resentment, and letting grace have the final word. Pastor Lloyd reminded us that forgiveness is not pretending it didn’t hurt, it is refusing to let the hurt keep writing the story.

At the cross, pride dies. Revenge loses power. Mercy stops being something we only receive and becomes something that flows through us.

Grace tore up our debt, so we do not have to live chained to the scoreboard anymore. What God has forgiven in us should change how we forgive others.

Resentment stops here. Grace keeps turning pages. 💙

When the fire of the Holy Spirit burns inside of us, everything changes. 🔥

Fear loses its grip. Chains begin to break. Boldness rises. Passion returns. Dead things come back to life.

Pastor Lloyd reminded us that without fire, the church can become dry and routine — but with the Holy Spirit, what looked dead and gone can have life breathed right back into it.

Lord, set our hearts on fire again. 🙌
