Saturday mornings 7:30 – 8:30 a.m. each week at New Life
This gathering for men is facilitated by Doug Nelson. This group focuses on healthy lifestyles and spiritual vitality. Its design is to take a comprehensive step into our true masculine design. If you wonder about success and being good enough, if you are challenged by a big issue or concern, if you’re threatened by a compulsive behavior or addiction, or if you’re curious where God really fits into your life, then this might just be the gathering for you.
This is a group of men who meet to talk about living healthy lives and how God can really be involved. It’s not a 12-step, recovery, or therapy group. In strict confidentiality, they talk, listen, pray, grow, and encourage each other to become who God created them to be by living God-informed and God-filled lives.
In “Stanchion” there is no negative judgment or condescension. Instead, there is an openness to possibilities and encouragement for life’s journey.
For questions call Doug Nelson at 239-8935. Register online. Invite a friend.
