• 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.

Need your help

Currently, we have a sunday night worship time. We are discussing many other ideas for additional time together, for instance, having a day each week where we rotate to one another's homes to help out with projects. Helping to bear one another's burden's as the bible says.

We have previously done rotating in home bible studies, as well as personal accountablity groups. Just a few ideas that I hope help.

We meet at one of the girls houses that we have and that way its throws the attention away from necessarily being at the church all the time. when we are together at a house we found that the kids open up alot more and do alot more together. so we found it best that way. granted we are a smaller church but we still also, do activities with the Youth Group which is headed by my parents. we are trying for one night a month getting together and doing a starbucks bible study or something.

I'm trying to bring my young adult group back from the brink of extinction, so I'm watching this thread with interest. Here's one link I thought would be helpful:

http://www.boundlessline.org/2007/05/how_are_singles.html

It focuses on singles but offers a wide spectrum of opinions.
