Hard times in this economic climate are affecting us all. Whether we’ve lost our job or know friends who’ve lost theirs, we are all involved.

Yet, conversely organisations helping single Christians find new friends and partners are seeing significant growth in their membership numbers. Perhaps this can be put down to people thinking hard about their priorities in life, and realizing that good friendships and relationships are what keeps them going when times are hard – and that investing in them is more important than many other transient things in life.

Katharine Gray, who runs friendsfirst the UK Christian friendship club wrote recently to us saying: We’ve almost never known a time like this in our 9 year history. More people are joining us each month and people are being very proactive with their membership.”

In the last six months alone, friendsfirst has had eight couples announce their engagements and a further three couples get married, with many more people relating the joy of finding new friends.
