Powerful words from our founder Alison talking about a topic that will resonate strongly with our military families. She shares why it’s important to her that St Marys church becomes @singlefriendlyc, referring to when her husband was in the army and deployed. Link in comments.

Always used to love going up the hills for sunrise service, then back to church for fried breakfast. Made Easter feel like the special day it is.
There are often initiatives at Christmas to make sure everyone has somewhere to spend the day with. But what about Easter? Is this also a day you appreciate spending in community beyond just attending church? #singlechristian #easter #singleness #singleinchurch

How do you find this time of year? For some, it can be incredibly lonely. We love this blog from last year by @danitreweek, which digs into what makes New Year difficult, and how you can help yourself or friends who might be struggling. Read it here: livingout.org/resources/post…

It might be a time of celebration, but Christmas can also be hard for those who are on their own. Beth Collingridge shares some easy ways churches can make sure everyone enjoys the festive season: premierchristianity.com/opin… premierchristianity.com/opin… @singlefriendlyc

Single people “must be valued at the heart of our society” as much as couples & families, according to @churchofengland report. @_Lauren_Celeste & I had a brilliant chat about why singleness is great (even if you don't want to be) in Life Issues podcast: 🔊open.spotify.com/episode/6pt…

Flipping the script on the condescending things said to #single people. Generate some of your own and share them here – it’s great fun. belladepaulo.medium.com/what…

I agree. I received some great training from @singlefriendlyc that helped me to see clearly how much better we can be doing as a church.

This is a question mostly for the single (or formerly single for an extended period of time) people. How do you handle knowing that your capacity for, and perhaps even interest in, your friendships is possibly greater than that of your married and/or parent friends?

Singleness is a unique gift. My time of rest is completely my own with God, I don't have to navigate another person's schedule, I dont have to navigate cooking preferences, I can watch what I want on TV...... list is endless! 🙏🤣💜🥳#singlealltheway

To those opening their homes to others this Christmas - thank you 💕 A small related thought… Rather than phrasing the invite as: “If you don’t have anywhere else to go, feel free to join us” Maybe you could say: “We’re looking for more people to join us. Are you free?”

Christmas should be a time of warmth and welcome. So why isn’t that the experience for so many single Christians? @singlefriendlyc shares what we can all do to make it a positive and inclusive experience for everyone cte.org.uk/why-christmas-can… #ChurchesTogether

When you're single, a homeowner, and discover your washing machine is leaking, it's not just about the leak. It's also the loneliness of trying to deal with it all on your own, of having no one else who has a stake in the problem.

Confession time. It’s not Xmas, Mother’s Day or any other day I find most difficult as a single person. It’s NYE. I really, really struggle with NYE. I don’t particularly want to be out partying (I’m old). I’m happy to chill on the couch. I just don’t want to be alone. 1/2
