Does anyone know of a Singles Ward for over 30's in Hendersong, NV or Las Vegas NV? I'm told that there are only singles Wards for under 30. However, I've been told from friends out of state that there are usually singles wards for Adults. I'm confused and don't want to offend thoes in my ward who have told me otherwise.

I'm not looking for "dating purposes", I'm a convert.. divorced a couple of years prior to finding The Church.... am not able to have children.... did not grow up with a large or close family.... and sometimes I feel out of place and so much older than everyone in my ward... and the people my age are so busy with all thier children and grandchildren (something I would LOVE to have)... that I ofetn feel out of place and sometimes hits the issue that causes me the most pain.... working on it.. but still would like to have an option. :(:confused:

Thanks.

That I know of the sinlge adults (30+) don't have wards of their own ... at least not that I have ever heard of. WE have a home evening group in our ward ... the only active one in the stake. We have on average about 10 every week.

Get involved in your own home ward ... maybe ask the Bishop for a calling ... I am single, never had kids and teach the 14-18 yr olds in Sunday school. That gives me my kid fix but sometimes makes me need a nap on Sunday!

The church doesn't have Single Adult wards anymore. There are Young Single Adult wards (18-30) and some (very few) Midsingle units (some are wards and some are part of a family ward). The Midsingle (ages vary upon region, but typically 31-48) wards/branches/units are typically in a larger population area (California and Virginia are the only ones that I'm aware of).

I was a never married, no children single in the church for many years. The last few years I've been in a family ward that I learned to serve others. It was difficult sometimes to hear lessons about being a good wife or mother, but once I was able to accept myself and my life as a single, I was able to serve others and forget about my loneliness and yearnings.

So, my advice is serve in the family ward and attend Single activities. Don't go to Single activities as a way to meet someone, but look at it as a way to get a spiritual uplift and help others accept themselves. Good luck.
