• 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.

  • 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 don't do anything with candles.

We have a felt advent calendar my mum got the kids last year.

My 7 year old is better at it than the 3 year old, he just remembers to do it each day. Whereas I am going to wait until there is more of the picture to show the 3 year old and let her play with it. and talk about the nativity story.

If you are doing advent with your toddlers,how are you modifying it to fit them?are you still lighting candles?What verses are you reading?My son is only interested in the candles,and Id like to make it ore important for him.

Not a parent but what I used to do for my toddler Sunda School class was use Adorenaments. I'm not sure how readily available they are anymore but it's from the same company that does resurrection eggs. They have ADVENTure of Christmas this year so may be worth looking into.
