Our singles are a very important part of
our church congregation, and we want to give them the recognition they need. Often the singles within an independent
holiness church feel there is no real place for them. After all, we have Sunday School picnics,
Youth Camps, Ladies Retreats, Men’s Advances, Couples Banquets, etc., but
nothing formally planned in our busy schedule to address the real needs of
the man or woman who is no longer a teen, and has never married. Certainly no one has a lifelong desire to
be the “old maid” or “graying/balding bachelor” in the church. This sense of not
fitting in has driven some to seek fellowship or companionship with peers
they have met at school or on the job who may not be Christians or hold the
same standards of holy living. We risk
losing them to the larger, worldly church that gives them this extra
attention. It is our desire to counter this by
recognizing the worth of each one, and by ministering to their particular
needs in an effort to provide a sense of belonging and fulfillment within the
singles community. |
