This post talks about some of the hurt and rejection singles feel in church because married couples and families are often put on a pedestal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you ever found it hard to feel like you fit in at church?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Families want to hang out with families<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Couples want to hang out with couples<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students want to hang out with students<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that leaves the rest of us who are not in these categories just floating about a bit aimlessly <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might have thought; \u201cI don’t fit with the families unless I offer to babysit. The couples make me feel a bit queasy sometimes in how they\u2019re attached at the hip. And I\u2019m definitely not cool enough to squeeze into the student crowd that I\u2019m way too old for now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps you feel like you\u2019re the only one and it’s been the same in many churches you\u2019ve been a part of\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a familiar experience for many single Christians in church. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The church (big C) is full of single people and our local churches, it seems, often don\u2019t really know what to do with us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
