Fielders,

Sunday, April 24, is the start of our Spring 2 Field Training classes! We will be hosting a book discussion on 7 Myths of Singleness by Sam Allberry as well as an equipping class on Clarifying the Bible.

Much of what we commonly assume about singleness - that it is primarily about the absense of good things like intimacy, family, or meaningful ministry - is either flat out untrue, or at very least, shouldn't be true. To be single, we often think, is to be alone and spiritualy hindered.

But the Bible paints a very different picture of singleness: it is a positive gift and blessing from God. This book seeks to help Christians - married and unmarried alike - value singleness as a gift from God so that we can all encourage singles to take hold of the unique opportunities their singleness affords and see their role in the flourishing of the church as a whole.
