  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Need to make a choice.

    I am the type that always jumps into every ministry opportunity (and well all extra-curricular type things really) that come my way. I am currently involved in five ministries at my church. One of which is on a rotating basis with what was three other teachers. Now two have quit and the other is...

    Children Ministry Visitor Packet

    I think information about the church is important to include. Put the times of the children and adult services and a brief summary of what is done at each service. This will encourage them to come back. Also list any upcoming events such as VBS. And most importantly, include the plan of...

    Children Ministry Visitor Packet

    Counseling is the best way, however, if they aren't ready to commit yet and don't come back, the tract can be the source they need later on. I know several people at my church that were saved through a tract they were given.

    Question about Sunday School

    I got a little misty eyed when you said you teach from the Bible your Sunday School teacher gave you. I also got a lot from that last paragraph. That is so vitally important. I pray for my kids and I hope that they truly do understand what I am trying to get across to them. One day one of my...

    Question about Sunday School

    The most important thing to do is to think like the kids. Don't worry about looking silly. I once taught a lesson on Psalm 23. I used my grandpa's old cane, and a dowel rod I bought at Home Depot as my rod and staff and drapped a sheet over me, tying it with a long piece of fabric so that I...

    Memory Verse Games

    I use the chalkboard, erasing one word at a time for myself. Also, writing each word (or phrase if a long memory verse or verses) on separate papers and then mixing them up and rearranging them in the proper order helps if order is an issue. I used this for myself in memorizing Psalm 23 as I...

    AWANA Games, questionable

    I am an Awana leader. We have never done this game, thank the Lord. I would speak to the Awana commander. Not only is this highly unsanitary, but the idea of two children putting their mouths on each other crosses a boundary that seems almost sexual. This game should not be played again.
