Storied Lives is a group that is only being offered to men this year through New Hope Counseling. The groups explore stories from participants' pasts, for them to live more freely in their present. Storied Lives creates a safe and powerful space for people to share stories that carry grief/confusion/shame and invite others into them to seek the Holy Spirit, who brings comfort, healing and growth. Groups meet once in November and 16 times from January to May; they have 4-6 participants and are facilitated by trained leaders. Groups will meet on Thursday nights. The cost is $45/meeting. Applications are due Oct. 21. If you have any questions, please email Mark Vanest at markvanest@gmail.com or Carrie Sinsabaugh at carrie@newhopeindianapolis.org. 

If you know of a gentleman who may be a good candidate, please consider asking them about it. A good candidate:

• is fairly steady emotionally (i.e., not in crisis); has some past wounds or present challenges they can't seem to shake 

• has capacity to explore their weaknesses in addition to their strengths 

If you have any questions, please email me at carrie@newhopeindianapolis.org.

Application closes October 21.
