Welcome to UMC Single Adult Ministries!

To be a "single adult" can mean a lot of things. For some people, it means being content with living on your own. For other people, it means you're in the process of looking for someone to share your walk with God with. For others still, it's a mixture of both. It can mean you are raising kids on your own, it can mean that you're the adult who is taking care of your parents and it can mean that just taking care of yourself is work enough. It can mean that you're living in a small town and looking for a few friends who can laugh through the complexities of small-town single life with you or it can mean you live in a big town and are looking for a network of people that feels like home. But most of all, maybe being a "single adult" just means that you, like a lot of other people (single or not), are trying to walk down a road that is less travelled and well, you'd like to feel like you're not alone. You're not.

Are you new to Single Adult Ministries (SAM)? So am I! This blog is hopefully going to be a great place for single adults to meet each other and share ideas so that we can build stronger programs in churches across north Texas. The blog itself is most definitely a work in progress, and I'm learning about SAM right along with you. Please feel free to post comments and email suggestions about what you want and need from SAM.

Being a single adult can mean a lot of things, but the one thing it doesn't have to mean is being alone.
