OASIS Christian Singles to host spring celebration at new Dyker Heights location
OASIS Christian Singles, considered the largest Christ-centered Christian singles event in Brooklyn, will host its spring celebration this weekend at its new location in Dyker Heights. The dinner, on Saturday, May 21, is themed “Single Living in a Challenging World.” It will offer the chance for Christian singles of all ages, from all walks of life and from all denominations from throughout the tristate area to join together.
OASIS Director Cindy Galdal-Ruperto told the Brooklyn Eagle, “Mostly, singles will go to events in their church, and they know everyone in the church already. And I had a desire to bring people together from different denominations, different walks of life and throughout the tristate area.
“Singles often have [the] feeling that they’re the only single left — that everyone is married but them,” Galdal-Ruperto continued. “It’s such a lie. It’s so powerful to be in a room filled with other singles. It’s very liberating to have that opportunity to come together with like-minded people with shared values. It’s very important.”
OASIS ministers to singles ages 21 and older. Many have never been married, while some are widowed or divorced, sometimes even at a relatively young age.
