Lovers Lane United Methodist Church
PULSE ... Ministry to Singles Update

The Lovers Lane Singles Ministry is now PULSE, and we have some exciting things in the works! Check out some of these events below, and an eye on the schedule for more details.

Being single in today's society can be something of a mixed bag. Being single doesn't mean that you are in any way less valuable than anyone else or a second class citizen. If you're not happy with who you are now, dating and/or marriage isn't likely to change that (at least for any significant amount of time). You are a child of God - He created you in His image - you are unique and equipped to serve in mighty ways. Use your gifts - reach out to others - serve on committees - get plugged in. Get involved with your Singles Program and let your voice be heard! Become an agent of change. Nobody is going to do it for you, and YOU have resources, insights, gifts and talents that will benefit others - everybody wins! Here's a good place to start:

 
Next Chapter, a support group for Singles
Thursdays, starting May 15, 6:30-7:30pm in room 215, Epworth Hall

The Pulse Singles Ministry at Lovers Lane UMC offers a new support group for singles called "Next Chapter."

The group is open (free of charge) for all singles who experience grief and loss (loss of relationship, job, dreams, etc. or loss through death).

The start date is May 15, and we will meet each Thursday from 6:30-7:30pm in room 215, Epworth Hall.  If you have any questions or want to sign up, call Carmen Scroggin at 214-706-9545.  

 
New Singles Group: "What's Next?"
1st & 3rd Tuesdays - 7:30pm: Epworth 218-220

This group meets on the first & third Tuesdays of the month at 7:30pm, and explores finding contentment in a safe, informal, discussion-based setting. Pick up a copy of The Single Truth before the next meeting.  

Need more info? Contact Dave Mauck, 214.724.2113.

Dinner at Celebration Restaurant
Tuesday, May 13, 7pm
Want a mid-week change of pace? We're gathering folks for an evening of family-style dining, relaxing in the cozy atmosphere and enjoying some great conversation. Celebration is located at 4503 W. Lovers Lane, in Dallas. Please RSVP by Sunday, May 10 to Mark Rybak, 214.522.9412.
The Day the Earth Stood Still Movie & Discussion: "The Day the Earth Stood Still"
Saturday, June 14 - 6pm

You don't have to be a science fiction fan to get in on this one.

OK, so an alien lands and tells the people of Earth that they must live peacefully or be destroyed as a danger to other planets.

Kinda sound like today's political races! Join us for a classic sci-fi thriller and some thought-provoking discussion afterwards.

 

Inner-G Worship ... Friday nights at 7pm

We invite you...
to share a time of music, timely messages, discussion and prayer with us on Friday nights at 7pm.

Outreach Opportunities

Stewpot * Body & Soul Ministry (Feeding the Homeless) * TRM Mentoring
Habitat for Humanity * Blood Drives * Food Drives * Jail Ministry * Care4Kids

We have a lot of things in the works these days, so be sure to check the calendar for details.

These ministries are just a sampling of what the Lovers Lane Singles are up to these days. Wouldn't you like to know that you're involved with a group that's literally changing lives? These are real projects that affect real people ... and when you participate - serving, sharing, laughing and crying - you'll never know who receives the greater blessing. As you reach out to serve others, you're Christ's ambassadors to the world. Click >here< for a list of outreach opportunities.


"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results." - Anonymous

Don't let life pass you by - get involved! Lovers Lane has various outreach opportunities and events, and you are always welcome at Acts 5:29 Wednesday night Bible study, Inner-G Friday night worship, Sunday classes and/or worship services.

"Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you, surprise you, disappoint you, but they can't prevent you from acting, from taking the situation you're presented with and moving on. No matter where you are in life, no matter what your situation, you can always do something. You always have a choice and the choice can be power." - Blaine Lee, The Power Principle
