Single Friendly Church Network
How to become a Single Friendly Church

Monday 30th June

1pm start

Pattingham Suite, Telford International Centre

“Welcoming single people in our churches”
How can your church respond to the Methodist Report on Singleness? Join us to discover simple and practical ideas to help you welcome and value single people at every stage of life.

40% of UK adults are single, but they can feel isolated and even invisible in church. Last year the Methodist Conference heard how there is "much still to do” to ensure single people and their contributions to church life are welcomed, affirmed and celebrated.

Single Friendly Church Network is here to help your church respond in a few simple steps.

In this Fringe Event we will discuss:

• What "single” means
• How to adapt church language so that everyone feels valued
• How to welcome and include people who come on their own
• Including single people in leadership - why and how
  

Single Friendly Church Network is a charity providing free resources and training so that all churches can be welcoming communities where everyone can flourish. Find out more about our work at www.singlefriendlychurch.com
