Living Room
(New LIFE Group)

Do you or someone you know suffer from a mood disorder?

Are there times you feel alone and God has forgotten you?

IPC, in partnership with the Mood Disorders Association of Manitoba and Living Room, will be offering a faith-based support group for persons living with mood disorders such as depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder. At Living Room, you can freely discuss your faith and mental health issues, knowing you will be accepted, loved, encouraged and inspired. The group will be facilitated by Lorna Smith who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and is now enjoying the abundant life that God promises. Do not allow fear or stigma to prevent you from benefitting from this opportunity to receive and experience God’s peace, joy and contentment. The group will meet the last Sunday of each month.

The first meeting will be held Sunday, September 25th from 5:00 to 7:00 pm in the Boardroom of Immanuel Pentacostal 955 Wilkes.

Contact Lorna at 296-2920 or smith.lornaa@gmail.com
