This past weekend was the True Love Dates East Coast Singles Event, in Lancaster, PA.
Singles of all ages, stages, genders and races got together to learn How to Pray for Love.
And you guys showed up in an unbelievable way. Every seat in the room was taken. The event was a huge success because of YOU!
We prayed together, we laughed together, we learned together, and we met so many incredible people. I got so much encouraging feedback about the event, but the main consensus was this: WE NEED TO DO THIS AGAIN!
Simply put – singles need to gather. And we as the body of Christ need to MAKE SPACE for singles in our community. A place to gather, to meet, to learn, and to connect with one another. Because if we don’t create this space within the body of Christ….who will?
So many times this weekend I found myself saying:
If we focused more on singles ministry, I wonder if we’d have less of a need for marriage ministry.
If we would pour into our singles today – I truly believe we’d have healthier marriages tomorrow. (TWEET IT!)
All I know is that I’m going to do what I can to make that happen. And I want you to partner with me! We’re already planning the next East Coast Event to take place early May 2018. And as soon as we get a date, we’ll let you know so you can save it!! And I’m believing we’re going to need DOUBLE the space this time around.
But that’s not enough. For those of you who live in other parts of the country, or attend different churches, I want you to pray about partnering with me to bring a singles event to your city. Reach out to your local church and have the leaders connect with me about hosting a TLD Singles Event – and we will collaborate and do what we can to make it happen. Let’s get something on the calendar in your city for 2018!
Here are some of photos of the event this weekend. Thank you for being there. It was such a pleasure to finally meet so many of you face-to-face! — Love, Debra
