Singles Ministry
by Don Davidson. The author, a singles pastor and former editor of the SAMI
(Single Adult Ministry Information) newsletter writes this book to
provide practical steps and ideas on how churches can create singles
ministries
that are exciting and stimulating for the single adult. The book is
filled
with fresh ideas on most every aspect of singles ministry and can be
used
by churches of any size to build a vibrant and successful singles
program.
Of particular value are the chapters that deal with ways single adults
are different from married adults, building an exciting singles Sunday
school class, various ways to publicize the programs. Another unique
feature
is the appendix where the author lists 10 Key Observations and 20
Cardinal
Rules for working with singles.
The 16 chapters
are divided
into two parts: 1. Getting Started and 2. Practical Programs. Some of
the
chapter titles are: Single Adult Ministry and the Local Church,
Important
Things to Understand About Single Adults, the Single Adult Leader,
Starting
a Single Adult Ministry from Scratch, The Planning Process, The Value
of
Good Publicity, The Matter of Money, General Administrative Tips and
Suggestions,
