SFCN collaborates with Roots this Christmas
Single Friendly Church Network recently featured in Roots for Churches magazine and podcast, sharing the importance of welcoming single people this Christmas. You can listen to the podcast here.
Roots for Churches work across denominations and Christian organisations, providing resources for churches on many different themes. They were keen to have a focus on single people in the lead up to Christmas, which can be a particularly family-focussed time.
Jackie Elton, founder of SFCN, wrote an article for their magazine on Welcoming Single People at Christmas.
Jackie and Beth were also featured on the Roots podcast, discussing singleness in church and society, theological perspectives on singleness, and how the church needs to do more to understand and meet the needs of single people.

“Many single people feel that ‘church family’ doesn’t apply to Christmas [...] Is it right that, after church at Christmas, so many disappear into their family unit, leaving others on their own?”
