Flying Solo Singles Ministry

Flying Solo is a group for singles in their prime years (more or less 40 and above) belonging to the life and ministry of Westminster Presbyterian Church. The group offers single adults the opportunity for Christian fellowship, spiritual and intellectual growth, and service to others. Please let me know if you would like to know more about singles ministry at Westminster. I would love to hear from you! You can reach me at 703-549-4766, ext. 121, or at nhallberens@wpc-alex.org.

Blessings!

Director of Congregational Life and Singles Ministries

Roundtable Discussions

The Flying Solo Roundtable Discussions are held approximately three times a year on Sunday afternoons immediately after the 11:00 a.m. service. We have a guest or staff facilitator who leads us in discussions. Topics are always interesting and relevant. Light lunch is included. Watch this site for further information on dates and topics.

Retreats

Members of Flying Solo enjoyed a spectacularly beautiful weekend at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware on October 3-5. The theme of our retreat was “What a Friend we have in Jesus: Friendship with Christ.” Our leader Jeff Hensley took our discussion on friendship with each other and with Christ in some new and interesting directions and encouraged lots of lively conversation! During the weekend we enjoyed some relaxed time for extended conversations and fellowship with friends, delicious food, lively games, quiet prayer, group worship, joyful singing, snapping photos, reading, walking, exploring, laughing, crying, hugging…and even some brave souls went swimming with jumping dolphins! If you had to miss it this year, we hope you will join us for next year’s retreat!
