Welcome to CF
You will find it helpful to look in our Welcome Center where we have topics like "New Member Intros", "For New Christians" and "Christian Forums How-To?" all to answer some of your questions and help you get around.
Here’s a little something put together to help you out:
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]In addition to the RULES & FAQ, here are just a few forums that might be helpful in starting to explore the place. [/FONT][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The links are found on the HOME page:[/FONT]
Start off in the WELCOME SECTION, then poke around a bit.
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]About Blessings: [/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Blessings are used here to do things like get a character, changing your Signature or Avatar, and getting "armor" Clothing for your character, even a Pet, and to buy the pet food to feed it daily. [/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Blessings are used like money here.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Every time you post you get blessings as well. [/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The same with the "Bank" you can put blessings in the bank and go once a month to collect interest. Each time you deposit or withdraw blessings the timer gets reset for another week. [/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]To get a Character, go to the top, right corner of the Home Page, and see [User CP] next to [Home]? Click on [User CP] (that stands for User Control Panel). Scroll down a little bit and on the lefthand side click Edit Avatar. On the next page, click Living Avatar--and then decide if you want to Edit Avatar (your character) or Purchase Items. You will need to select a body, hair, eyes, lips, and eyebrows/facial hair for your character to be seen. I personally chose to show my CF Angel wings, but you can choose whatever works for you!

Finally, you might want to look in the [/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Life Stages[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]forums to find a group that fits you. I'm in the Women's Discussion, Parenting, and Marriage Ministry, and there's a life stage there to fit YOU![/FONT]
