Singularity

“… Are you one of the fortunate kind, alone but not lonely?” asks country and western singer, Mary Chapin Carpenter.

While many embrace their independence and solitude, there are many others that feel being single is equated with loneliness and viewed with derision or pity. Living in a couple-oriented society often finds single adults struggling with exactly what their “season of singleness” is about, whether you are never married, divorced or widowed.

Regardless of your point of view, if you are single you will not be lonely with Christ Church’s Solo Flight Singles Ministry. Solo Flight is not a lonely hearts club; it is not a matchmaking group; it is not a life-long commitment to remaining single. On the contrary, it is a network of individuals that come together to socialize, to serve and to grow mentally and spiritually. We have our careers, our families and our hobbies. We share our struggles and celebrate our victories. Many of us are very active in the larger life of the church and our community. For some, Solo Flight was the very gateway to becoming more involved. Being single is a part of who we are, but it certainly does not define who we are.

'Singularity' can be defined as something that is unique, distinctive, or remarkable. I think this is also a pretty good description of Solo Flight Singles Ministry!

Join us for Solo Flight Sunday this weekend, as Christ Church singles lead worship and preach.
