Since November of 2011, Celebrate Recovery meetings have been held here on Friday nights. We have moved through the 12 Steps and truth from Scripture many times during those seven years. There are some success stories being unfolded; there are also some heartbreaks. Recovery is not a one-time thing. It is life-change and that is a lifetime endeavor. Recovery will not happen alone either; it takes a loving, patient, informed, prepared, devoted, and Christ-centered family. That is why between now and Christmas we will be doing something new during Celebrate Recovery on Friday nights.
Beginning in September and continuing thru December, we will be preparing ourselves, and anyone who cares about someone struggling with addictions and resentments, to better understand and support those who are struggling. Along the way we may find some help for our own struggles.
If you are struggling with alcohol, drug, sex, pornography, greed, gambling, or any other addition or you care about someone who is, I hope you will join us on Friday's this fall
If you battle resentment, anger, relationship troubles, if you find yourself moving from relationship to relationship, job to job, church to church, house to house, state to state, or if you care about someone who does, I hope you will join us on Friday's this fall.
If you experience success in your war only to suddenly loose another battle and relapse back into the depths, or you care about someone does, I hope you will join us this fall.
We cannot fix someone else's struggles, but if we understand how addiction and resentment start and take over, if we learn how to compassionately come along side to support, if we correct our expectations of how recovery unfolds, then we will all be better prepared for our own battles and supporting others in theirs.
Celebrate Recovery happens every Friday at 7pm.
