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

Prayer requests post here!

I know it may seem like a small thing, but this division I see from the Great Council falling apart has shaken me a little. It seems our hierarchs care more about politics than the Church. Prayers would be much appreciated!

Taking boards tomorrow. After it's over, I will have to wait 48 hours before finding out if I passed or not (for an extra fee- of course). This will determine if I get to start orientation for my new job on Monday. I must admit that I have lots of anxiety about this. These questions will focus a lot on priority and there will be a lot of select all that apply. I could pass or fail at 75 or continue all the way up to pass or fail at 265. Everyone walks out thinking they've failed. Studying and taking lots of practice exams has done nothing to make me feel better about it either. I haven't felt so close to a stress ulcer in years. Continued prayers are much appreciated.

Thank you, Seashale, Anhelyna, Mary. Made it through the procedure. ;)

Now I have to wait a week before they tell me the results. God is good. It's given me a lot to think about the past couple of weeks. In some ways that's a tremendous blessing too.

Thanks again for the prayers. God bless you all.

Please pray for me, for I am going through some very
heavy demon attacks. I have also lost my church recently, and
I am trying to find another one where I will feel safe.

Thank you in advance.

Lord have mercy!

Thanks, Matt and Laura.

I just wanna be able to go to Liturgy tomorrow at this point. I was there for the leave-taking of Pascha, but missed everything since then. It feels like FOREVER since I've been in Church. And they keep scheduling doctor appts and follow-ups at times when another nearby parish is having Liturgy. I guess I should be glad they want to be on top of things. But I just wanna go to Church.

(And sorry, I know I'm whining. I apologize. I'm not good at being tough, lol.)
You don't need to apologize. Everything you're feeling is perfectly understandable. Continued prayers for you.


*And- a happy update to mine: I passed and now I can start orientation on Monday. Thanks everyone for praying!
