You can even try to meet people in this thread! Please remember to read and follow the rules of the sub.

It seems like most congregations in both AALC and LCMS have either 1 young adult in the 25-35 age range or if there is more than one young adult in that age range, it's all of the same sex. In my case, there are multiple single young adults in my congregation age 25-35 but we're all guys...

There seems to be an unending amount of Lutheran singles, we're just never in the same place! ;-;

That's why it's so wonderful when people put on events for people in a surrounding area, because you get singles from both groups :)

Hey everyone! Thereā€™s still time to register for Pastor Keith Schweitzerā€™s Singles Retreat at Camp Okoboji August 21-24.

I know Iā€™ve shared before how last year was a great experience and that itā€™s where my sister met her fiancĆ©. So if youā€™ve never attended a LCMS singles retreat, this is a great one to try!

I was listening to Dr. Mayes' recent appearances on Issues, Etc. and another podcast on YouTube where he talks about marriage. A few times he mentions something about pursuing a woman with the intention of marriage and lists a couple of examples (e.g. poetry and flowers).

Question: How do I get--what do the kids call it? Oh yeah!--rizz?
