CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas \u2014 A new ministry created for single adults in the Coastal Bend got off to a stronger-than-expected start after drawing about 60 participants to its first gathering.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne With Christ<\/a>,\u201d a ministry at Most Precious Blood Catholic Church for single adults ages 40 to 65, held its inaugural meeting Friday night. Organizers had anticipated a crowd of about 30 people, but attendance doubled those expectations.<\/p>\n

Participants traveled from across the Coastal Bend, with some coming from communities including Hebbronville, Beeville and Taft.<\/p>\n

The ministry was created to provide fellowship, faith-based community and meaningful connections for adults who may not find many programs geared toward their stage of life within the church.<\/p>\n

Organizers said the turnout underscored a strong interest in opportunities for connection among single adults in the region.<\/p>\n

Following the successful launch, the group is already planning its next gathering, scheduled for Nov. 20. The event will feature a Friendsgiving potluck theme, and participants are encouraged to bring a friend.<\/p>\n

The ministry requires a $35 annual registration fee. <\/p>\n

Organizers hope the positive response to the first meeting will continue as the ministry grows and welcomes new members from throughout the Coastal Bend.<\/p>\n
