I am currently in a relationship for the past 3 years but although we’re about to go to Pre-Marriage Counselling at his church, I want to be super sure that he’s the one I should marry.

"The format is good! Icebreaker cards was helpful to initiate conversation. Thankful for your hard work behind the planning :)" - Male

Thanks for organising, Grace!" - Female

"Friendly and comfortable. People were welcoming and open to talk to me :)" - Female

"Comfortable" - Female

"I am not sure is there any of my age group? Coz most looks so young there:(" - Female

"I like the discussion sharing. But I think would need a bit of guidance in the facilitating part, as my first group of discussion went quite off topic, me and another guy didn’t have time to share our point of view in the topic.

And the second round of sharing becomes a bit draining as I feel that everyone is just wanting to get the discussion done asap." - Female

"The ice breakers were cool, the picture cards helped. Discussion questions were good guides for conversation as well!" - Male

"A refreshing event. Can chill and share at our own pace" - Male

"Generally, for my first break out group, fellow participants allowed each person to finish sharing (or at least a section of their sharing) before giving any other inputs. It was comforting to know there are other people going through the same thing. It was also heartening that other participants also point us back to God, His word, His ways and His character.

Small note: it might have been good to remind everyone to respect one another's privacy due to the nature of the sharing. The impact of that statement said from the organizers might have helped to reinforce the safe space." - Male
 

"I think the people are quite easy going, and I like the structure! Only two rotations!!" - Female, 27

"The MCQ ice-breaker questions were very helpful! But would be good to enforce the 3 person per group rule. I had one group that ended up having 6 people and we didnt get to answer the fun questions after introducing our names, church and exchanging simple pleasantries. But for my other two ice-breaker groups, the conversations were pretty well facilitated by the provided question!

I also appreciate the variety of games provided, I like that convo cards were included in the mix too.

Would be great if there was a version of this event for the young adults age group (maybe aged 25 to 35). I was one of the few younger people present today, though it was still a pleasant time, I was initially hesitant to come for this event because I was worried about the age group imbalance (which I was aware would very likely be the case for events that are open to any age groups). But there are very limited events for Christian singles that are catered to the younger adults so I took the leap to sign up. It did end up being a fun time, and I have no regrets coming today.

The age thing aside, I thought that everything else was well organized! Thank you again for putting this event together! Sorry for writing a whole essay for the review 😅" - Female, 28

I go back taking away good learning points and also making new like-minded friends (growth mindset!)" - Female, 37

"Thoughtful and meaningful questions" - Female, 37

"TBH it’s my first time to attend such an event. But I enjoyed this because there is a specific topic that is not so controversial and people can share their thoughts about.. just a pity there’s no time to get introduced to all attendees but it’s still a good start!" - Female, 42

"Having several rotation round is good for us to get to know more people during the event. Casual and chill environment is conducive for conversations to flow.

"Thanks for organizing. The event was quite chill. Made be be myself and enjoy. And games were fun too. And met some cool and great people" - Female

"This is my first event, but I like the concept of shuffling groups" - Male, 25

"I liked that I was able to be myself and chat & play with other single Christian YAs over a table conversation. I found that with a group size of 5 or more, the conversation could flow more naturally and there would be at least one extrovert or initiative-taker to push the convo and get the ball rolling.

However, the number of signups and their personalities is largely out of your control, so I'm thankful that y'all just do your best in preparing and providing this space for us. And God will provide and work!

Besides that, I think the format is perfect as is for me, I know it's something that y'all have iteratively improved upon, so it's good already!

If I were to suggest one thing (perhaps it has already been suggested), would it be good to indicate everyone's age on their name tag too? Since that is the foremost information provided on most dating platforms. I understand if there are reasons not to, though!" - Male, 27

"Being able to bond over games and finding out more about each other through" - Male, 28

"Appreciated the work to organise !" - Male, 30

"Hi organizing team, thank you for the event. I really appreciate it

For me, it’s my first time here and it’s the first event I went that let us bond through playing games together, so that is definitely an outstanding part. I see that there was a lot of effort put into mixing everyone up to ensure that people get to know each other. I particularly appreciate that this event has a low signup cost, making it affordable for people from all walks of life to connect. Also, board games were also largely designed to help spark conversation, even Jenga is modified to help do that!

If you don’t mind however, I would like to provide some feedback. I want to emphasize that I understand that implementation can be difficult, and with different ministries doing similar things and also the constraints and demographic.so if these feedback does not make sense, please don’t take them to heart and ignore them.

I feel that after event, I somehow felt something lacking. I dare not assume that is, but the following is what I believe it is: I feel that despite putting lots of effort into talking and facilitate conversation in the groups, I still don’t know certain individuals that I want to know enough. What I believe is the cause is 1. The group is too big 2. Important questions like faith, values, love language and hobbies are something that comes up by “chance” in the games. If people don’t ever draw the card to talk about it, then it will never come up. Of course, there will be people who are afraid to be vulnerable and this facility will help them stay safe.

One way to encourage will be to perhaps have tables with certain topics and prompting questions, which people can choose. Or retaining this same format, it might be better to reduce the size of group so that each individual can talk about themselves for a longer period of time. There will also be the issue of the lacking of exposure to more people, of which I will say that it might be a trade off that needs to be made.

Thank you so much. I hope that the comments were constructive and can help in the ministry" - Male, 32

“My first time attending SC events though I have been receiving emailers for awhile now. I particularly like this event because there’s discussion about dating in Christian perspective in a very meaningful way. The breakout groups and swops to ask question is good. I like the flow and particularly how the facilitators went around the groups to throw “dynamites” to help us think deeper. That’s particularly helpful because we (or maybe just me) jaded with the dating scene and wonder how do we navigate this better. It helps us to think deeper to our own list and biases. Thankful!” - Female, 36

“Though it is my first time to a single-mingle social event. I liked how it was focused on the combination of God, Bible and single-mingle things in a wholesome way.

​

“The sharing about various qualities we would like to see in the other gender was done in an encouraging, deep and scripture-backed way.” - Male, 28

​

“I appreciated that the atmosphere was one that was non pressuring, non threatening, yet everyone was able to interact with one another naturally around a common goal with God at the centre.

​

I think this is a step up from using dating apps because of the above and the value in that is that one gets to observe who gravitates to who socially, an element that is sorely lacking in dating apps. “ - Male, 40

​

“The last part where we go back to the scriptures and remind ourselves that these are brothers and sisters in Christ and God loves them equally as well - to reduce judgement on our end and see them through the lens of God.” - Female, 39

​

“The biblical discussion part, drawing what is good for us to do from bible verses! Also, spontaneous conversations springing from what people presented. I think this all helps to discern spiritual maturity of different ones.

​

"The event is well organized and facilitated. Everyone was friendly and I enjoyed the conversations we had." - Female, 27 
 

"The thoughtful icebreaker questions and activities really help to get conversations going. Though having 2 rotations were good to mix everybody around, it does feel like the time spent with each group is short. Especially the group for ice breaker questions.

“Ice breaker games” – Male, 53

“I like the thoughtful activities, in particular looking out for the landmarks using photos. Also, going to areas that are less familiar and quaint. I got to see parts of Singapore that I did not know about. These activities helped us to get to know one another better and mingle. I also liked the ice breaker question about false ideas in childhood as these questions were deeper and more original; and not superficial. Deeper and more thoughtful questions get people to share more. In terms of future activities, maybe a cultural site or museum or movie. For the charade’s activity, perhaps it could be held earlier as we were quite tired after the walk. Thank you for the great effort! Will recommend it to possible friends.” – Male, 56

It was a meaningful session because we could exchange our thoughts and discuss about our different experiences and also ending off with God’s words to help navigate this area of our life, helps a lot too because only with the encouragement of God’s words and people with similar season, it’s helpful to journey together to lift each other up by journeying with each other in our ups & downs together!💪🏼😊“ - Female, 29

I appreciated how so much wisdom is packed into the materials, and sharing. Truly God speaks through us when we gather in His name."

"Grateful to the organizers for holding this conference. Very heartening to hear from perspectives from all walks of life. Glad to hear that we singles are not alone in walking this journey. Wish that there will be support for us singles by churches across Singapore because it is a very lonely walk. Looking forward to more enriching events in the future with you all. <3"
 

"Good and comprehensive sharing on dating apps and scene in Singapore today, and what to expect. Perhaps can give more examples on scenarios (i.e., do scenario based for a larger proportion of the sharing because some of us may not be familiar with the modern dating scene). I feel like the sharing and Q&As were very good and insightful. I feel we need even more time to discuss!"
 

"Good sharing session"
 

"Awesome insightful session!"
 

"Thank you for organizing the session. The session was definitely a fruitful and meaningful one for me, coming from a very different generation.

What I like about the session:
1. Grace and her generosity in sharing info she has researched over the years.
2. ⁠The boundaries set for the session so all are mindful and respectful of privacy and confidentiality.
3. ⁠This gave confidence for all to share candidly which enriched the session with a sense of sincerity to keep all abreast of info not journaled anywhere.
4. ⁠The interactive mode allowed people to find new friends in God’s kingdom plus made the session lively.

What could be better:
1. If time permitted, perhaps breaking into groups according to Male and Female and single and married so to allow more relatable opportunities to share challenges.

Thank you so much."

"The bible study on Ephesians was really good! During the study, not only were we studying the word, but also about how to apply it into the word. What makes this unique is that we are all in this season of singlehood, and the struggles we face as a result, could be quite similar and we could then discuss the application better as a group. Really enjoyed the raw and deep sharing from each person in the group, and the bonds formed over time! Would definitely want to sign up for the next bible study by Sacred Companions! - Female, 23

There’s definitely a lot of work done behind the scenes to facilitate the bible study.

It was definitely insightful and interesting! Would be nice to have more of such events in the future!:)" - Female, 34

"An insightful workshop into the Biblical experience of dating and marriage that was facilitated with so much heart by Grace and Pastor William! It covers the pitfalls of a relationship that is grounded on self rather than God/sacrificial love as well as provides a Biblical model of relationships. The discussion questions provide room for authentic discourse instead of settling on stock and politically correct answers." - Female, 35

"It’s a Great activity for me that lives up to its promise to be word-focussed. The sessions were also interesting, because this allows me too hear viewpoints from the other gender.
