At the urging of some friends, I approached my church's connection center about forming a Saturday evening fellowship. My vision is to form an informal group of Christians to share discussion and an activity (like a meal) after the Saturday service, keeping up the momentum from the service. Any adult would be welcome, and children too if they're accompanied by an adult. No limits on demographics.
I got a call a few days later from a volunteer with the singles ministry. He tried to redirect me to other groups, none of which meet on Saturday, and all directed at singles he believes are my age. I told him what I was trying to do, and he said he would pass it along to the intern minister of the singles ministry.
Lonely Single Woman Without Date on Saturday Night Looks to Form Group. I could just hear the headline in his head.
That was two weeks ago and I've heard nothing. I'm not going to let it go though. I will find a better approach and the right person to talk to, not in the singles ministry. If I have to, I'll form it myself using Craigslist and Yahoo Groups but that's fraught with dangers. I'd much rather do it through the church. No, not giving up yet.
