SINGLES BIBLE STUDY -
From Fall through Spring, we gather in our church library on the
2nd & 4th Sundays and our meeting time has been changed to 1 pm
starting on December 28.
Overview of Living Single Series
Do you feel forgotten by God in your singleness? This eight-session
course will help you wrestle with the struggles, challenges, and joys
of being single. It discusses how to enjoy being single in a couples’
world, reviews the benefits of being single, and considers how singles
can embrace and overcome the challenges they face while waiting for
marriage. It also looks at how long singles should keep hoping, where
the desire for marriage comes from, and what to do with it, and how to
stand strong in the face of sexual temptation.

Do you feel forgotten by God in your singleness?
Hosea 1:2–2:1; 3:1–5; John 14:1–21; Ephesians 6:10–18

relationship you have now and forever in God.

How long should singles keep hoping?
Esther 3:1–6; 4:9–16; 8:1–2; Psalm 139:1–18; Mark 9:17–27

doubt and disappointment can, in fact, strengthen the dream, deepen
faith, and lead to more authentic relationships with others.

Where the desire for marriage comes from, and what to do with it.
Genesis 2:18–24; 22:1–12; 24; Romans 12:1–2
