• 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!

Please keep me in your prayers. My job has taken a very sour note in the last week and I'm struggling to find a solution right now.
Good news, the group I work for created a whole new process and now I'm only remotely involved :)

Also, June 26th, my wife and I celebrated our 30th anniversary!

Update - the cat, as far as I know, appears to have made a full recovery.
I’m financially sliding back to the very edge again. Trying not to think about the near future.
Thanks for your prayers!

I ask your mercy in praying for the souls of the servant of God, Matve and his son Adam.
He lost his wife 4 years ago when she died giving birth to their son Adam. Their infant son was recently diagnosed with cancer and was in hospital.
It was at this time that Matve confessed to a friend that if his son died he would take his own life, such was the level of his despair.
Last week his son Adam passed away and we learned that Matve subsequently took his own life.

Please pray for me also; my Faith isn't anywhere near strong enough, I am struggling to pray or live a Christian life in any fashion. And I am really living up to being a worthless sinner and hypocrite...

Pray for the people of Rhodes as wildfires cause the greatest evacuation in recent decades

Also, pray for the people of Odesa as they mourn the loss of their temple (Holy Transfiguration ROC Cathedral) to artillery fire
And for the residents who are made homeless, and those who lost their lives in the fires of conflict
