• 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.

Has anyone celebrated this with others? Our Congreg. is having this tonight. I do not know if I want to attend because I do not even know what it is??:help: I meant to ask someone last week but forgot, and just now realized that the get together is tonight. Anyone know what this is or what we would do to celebrate it?:confused:

If I may?

It is the feast of firstfruits, when Yeshua was presented ( by himself) before the father as the first wave offering the promise of a bigger harvest to come.

I am not sure why they are celebrating tonight , it should be on Sunday.

Edited to add, this is what is called, resurrection Day, by those that don't want to use the pagan name of esater. ;)

Hey! I think I figured out why it was on that day. It was First Fruits (I didn't go, just asked some people who attended) This was more or less a get together at some one's HOME! Another dinner is planned tonight. I am not sure why it was like this but it may have just been something this couple threw like a dinner party.
