• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hi all,

I know I don't post here much but I do like reading the posts here.

I have a big day this Sunday as after 1.5 years of studying I am being confirmed. I really excited and nervous at the same time. I have never participated in communion before and this Sunday will be my first.

Cheers!

Congratulations! I would advise you not to worry about 'doing it right' but simply focus on receiving what is being given to you. The rest will come in time.

What Tangible said, and let me add, the Sacraments are not about us and what/how we do it; it is all about what God does for us!

A fellow Canadianand a Conservative one at that!
What part of Canada are you from; I'm from Southern Ontario?

Thanks everyone. The confirmation went awesome. I was nervous until I got up there and then I was fine. The sacrament also was amazing. I felt so different afterwards. I can't explain it....calmer?
After the service the congregation was so kind and congratulating me. I feel like I am part of the Church now and not some guy who sits there every Sunday. My wife and son were also made part of the congregation.
Hi Mark, I am in the GTA!
