Circle
of Hope – Support Group for Family and Friends of those with
Substance Misuse Issues
I am
writing to share with readers about a new resource available in our
community. Support groups and peer support groups are valuable tools
for people coping with a loved one’s substance use. Support groups
are dedicated to improving the quality of life for people by
offering support, education, and resources.
A new
support group called “Circle of Hope” will begin in Barnstead on
August 13th. This group is for family members and friends who
have a loved one struggling with substance misuse. Through peer
sharing and educational presentations, participants can learn coping
skills to help themselves and their loved ones. Most of all they
learn they are not alone.
Circle
of Hope facilitators are trained by NAMI, the National Alliance on
Mental Illness.
The
Circle of Hope group will meet on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each
month from 6:30 – 8:00 pm at The Congregational Church of North
Barnstead UCC, 504 North Barnstead Road, in Ctr. Barnstead. Meetings
are held in the small building next to the church.
The
first meeting will be on August 13th.
We hope
that this new group will assist those in need of support in
Barnstead and in the surrounding communities. Please share this
important information with your friends and neighbors.
For
more information, call or text Charlene LaFleur at 603.715-0509 or
email at [email protected].
Peace
and Healing,
Rev.
Nancy Talbott

voice has moved audiences from all walks of life, crossing
generational and stylistic barriers.
This
event, featuring David Phelps, will also include talented female
vocalist, Charlotte Ritchie, as well as Phelps’ seven-piece musical
entourage. Many of the songs featured during this exciting evening
are included on Phelps’ brand new release, Hymnal. Phelps lends his
three-octave range to some of the most treasured hymns of the church
with this new recording, which showcases masterful vocals and lush
arrangements of such cherished gems as “Amazing Grace,” “How Great
Thou Art,” “In The Garden,” “Victory In Jesus” and “It Is Well With
My Soul.” Each song takes the listener on a journey of inspiration
and worship in song.
