We have changed our SOAK meetings to the first and third Monday of each month, at 6:15 so that we could have a room and regular meetings in one place every time with a concentration on discussion and enjoying time together discussing the information from the following book:
Seven Myths about Singleness by Sam Allberry
Reviews:
“Far too often, the church regarding single Christians as people who need to be fixed or fixed up.”
By R. Butterfield, Professor,Syracuse University, author of: “the gospel comes with a house key”
“Allberry rights to remove the stigma from the idea of singleness…”
By R.D.Moore, president, of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission…
Allberry shows us “ how we can stop chasing the myths that break our hearts.”
By R. Ortlund, laid pastor, Emmanuel Church, Nashville, Tennessee
“Allberry flushes out the several hidden, barely conscious assumptions about singleness and celibacy that control our attitudes towards single living. Once he makes these assumptions visible, he uses the Bible to dismantle them and show us a better way. “
By T.J.Keller, Pastor Emeritus , Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City
“Allberry, in true form, doesn’t waste a single word in seven minutes about single mess. His tone, structure, humor, and biblical undergirding make this book one of the best on the subject in recent years. Not only has Alberry thought hard about the subject of sigleness, he has lived it and continues to glorify Christ in it. Too often, books on singleness still make marriage – or at least becoming marriageable – the point. There’s none of that in here. Instead, he dissembles the lies in which the unmarried can find themselves trapped, showing the abundant life Christ offers to every single person.”
By L.F. Wilbert author, “handle with Care: why Jesus came to touch and how we should too”
One of the introduction and first chapter questions we review on January 20 would be, “Is singleness too hard?”
We will work through getting to know each other better as well as discussions for practical takeaways on about one or more chapters every month.
Since there is currently no room granted for our Singles group at Mason Crossroads and we have found a church who is willing to grant a room to Singles we will meet regularly on Mondays twice a month at Tri County Vineyard. 11340 Century Circle 45246
The plan is to meet Every first and third Monday of every month at this same room and location.*Participation is key to Enjoying our groups.*

B135 is one of the first classrooms to the right when you enter. I or a greeter will meet you and we will get started on our discussion and Group at 6:30 until 8:30.
Our first group will start the third week Monday January 20, 2025 at 6:15 starting promptly at 6:30. On our first meeting January 20 we mainly will be getting to know you, a discussion about a chapter and your thoughts regarding being single.*Participation is key to Enjoying our groups.*
Note : You do not have to buy a book if you don’t want to and can come and just discuss and learn. We will try to have interesting questions, and good fellowship with an opportunity to develop relationships. *Participation is key to Enjoying our groups.*
Since everyone is busy, I totally understand if you can’t get to every group. So come when you get a chance because the more you come, the more you will get to know people, grow voice, your thoughts and understandings and as the reviews mentioned, just come to be free of the lies, that may be trapping you or holding you back related to single living.*Participation is key to Enjoying our groups.*
