  • 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

I dont know if I would call Parrish a small town anymore. They are building it up like crazy.
I actually returned to my old church in Palmetto last week. I enrolled my kid in Awana's on Wednesdays, and we attended out first Sunday the same week. I actually found out that they now host 2 different sermons. The more traditional and a more modern one that had a lot more people in our age group.
Everything went pretty good and I plan on staying a while.
I do have to say I was surprised to see that they are using the ESV now instead of the NIV which was also a plus for me. I am a KJV fan but the ESV and NASB are close seconds for me.

Yes, Parish and Palmetto are really growing as exurbs of Tampa and Sarasota - and Bradenton of course. I like that area of the state myself.
