If you were at Forefront Brooklyn Sunday you learned along with us that our beloved community member, Victoria Ann Judge, passed away on Friday. Our staff was honored to get to visit her and pray with her on the day she met Jesus. And now we get to celebrate her life together this Thursday and Friday. Please join us as we come along the Judge family as they grieve. I know they would appreciate seeing so many members of their church community there to celebrate their wonderful mother and wife. 

Be good to one another this week. Offer grace, hug your loved ones and pray for Jonathan Judge, his father Kevin, and his girlfriend Heather Jenkins, who are all beloved members and leaders in our community. I look forward to being the church at our best with all of you this week.
