Where does the single adult fit into the body of Christ?  I mean every time we turn around they're preaching about families and children from the pulpit which doesn't really cover our demographic.  Even though we have no children of our own couldn't we mentor those who have no spiritual parents?  Don't we need spiritual mentors as well?  What about a place to have fellowship with other believers like ourselves?  

The church in general is so worried about becoming a meat market that they forgot that in the beginning the church was not only the spiritual center of town but the social center as well.  What safer place would there be to meet someone?  With your spiritual leaders and mentors around as activities go forth they are our protection from any wolves in sheep's clothing.  If they're not going to get fellowship in church they will find it elsewhere.  ("It is not good that man should be alone") God said that :)

Genesis 2:18a

And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone;


It is important to note that Paul although he had no biological children he had "children in the faith" like Timothy.  Both these men were single.  One was mentored and the other the mentor.  I believe we has singles need to take our place in the body as we are lacking so many spiritual father's.

1 Corinthians 4:17

Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
