On August 23rd I am responsible for a workshop for the Nothwest TX Conference of the United Methodist Church. I want this workshop to address the true needs of single adults amd how they can best me me t by the body of Christ. This isn't a denominational survey or limited in any way. If you are married and have questions you would like to have addressed that is great also. In order for this to not just be my opinion, I need your input.
I want to take a look at the differences and likenesses of the various types of single adults. I want all areas to be represented: never marrieds, divorcees, single parents both custodial and non-custodial, widows, single parents due to divorce and single parents due to death. I would also like to have all age groups represented from 25 to 105 - how does age affect your needs.
Do you have questions that you would like to have addressed? Do you feel like there is an unfair stereotype of single adults. Let me hear from you! Are you part of a group who would be willing to participate. Let me know!

The "church" should treat singles like it does couples, families, etc. We are not lepers. This varies by denomination but singles are extremely pigeonholed in some evanglical churches. FYI -- Jesus was single.
How do we get out of the pigeonhole and be treated as a viable part of the Church. It would be nice if we as well as everyone else could just be seen for who we are and not labeled at all but how do we make that happen?
