Christian Singles Program Offered at Shoreline Church
Carol Vara feels called to helping singles find a date or even a soul mate through her monthly program offered at Niantic Community Church. The free program, Christian Singles & Dating, is held the third Wednesday of each month and all are welcome.
Niantic, CT, April 04, 2015 --(PR.com)-- As a social worker at Lawrence & Memorial Hospital, Carol Vara's career has always been about helping people. She received her master of social work from Salem State College in 1992 and after a short stint in a school, she accepted a position as medical social worker at L&M. Over the past few years she has been offering a dating program through New London Adult Education, but stumbled upon a bit of insight after attending the now defunct, Spirited Singles group at Niantic Community Church.
“I feel an urgency to help others,” says Carol. “I know what they are dealing with. I’ve been divorced. I’ve been there. Here at church there is a spiritual component that I can’t do at adult ed. I feel very comfortable with that. People don’t think about how their faith can help in the dating process. But God is with us on this journey.”
She offers a few suggestions for those who are interested in dating, for the first time or for the first time in a long time.
1. Have a positive attitude
2. Be friendly and smile
3. Make it known that you are available
4. Don’t try too hard
5. Ask yourself what you might do differently
For more details about these ideas she invites people to come to her program. She suggests instead of going through a drive through for your morning coffee, try going into a coffee shop and sit down and relax a few minutes. No one will chase you down in your car but they might strike up a conversation over a mocha latte at a table.
“Belief in God on this journey can open us up to possibilities, but there has to be intention.”
Carol grew up Catholic but is now a member of NCC. She remarried in 2012 after meeting her husband Edward Kardys on Match.com, but her mission to help people celebrate the dating life with success continues. To learn more about her program, held the third Wednesday of each month from 6-8 p.m., call Niantic Community Church located at 170 Pennsylvania Avenue, Niantic, (860)739-6208
