Celebrate Recovery

December Schedule
Celebrate Recovery will be meeting each week in December, except Dec 26.  We are currently finishing up Step 12 and Principle 8 and will be starting again with Step 1 and Principle 1 on Friday, January 2, 2015.  So if you are making any New Year’s resolutions, help them actually stick this year by joining us at CR.

What is Celebrate Recovery and why would I go to a meeting?
I’m glad you asked, or at least came to this page to check it out.  We all struggle with hurts and habits.  I spend a lot of time talking to people in all kinds of settings, from church to the street corners of New Brighton and Beaver Falls, and I know that many people are hurting.  I myself have struggled and still do at times, with hurts and habits.
This life often hurts and we usually try to cope with those hurts in ways that lead to poor and even hurtful habits.  We soon find that what stared out as something that seemed to help, or at least dull some of the pain is now a problem in itself.  The anger we feel or express that is really caused by trying cover some resentment, the relief we once sought and found in alcohol, drugs, immorality, cigarettes, gossip, codependency, or isolation has turned into a self-made prison that no longer provides the relief we want.  Now those things have created more hurts and hardships that compound the problems of life.

At Celebrate Recovery, you learn how to stop dealing with life’s hurts and habits in your own power and understanding, and start dealing with hurts and habits in God’s power and wisdom.  Recovery is about learning how to give ourselves over to God and letting Him bring us out of the prison we are in, to the freedom of knowing and loving Him.


When and where does Celebrate Recovery meet?
We meet every Friday at 7pm, the address is listed on the right.  We start with a lesson based on the 12 Steps and 8 Biblical Principles of Recovery and then we have a small group discussion time, one group for ladies and one for men.

We also have a CR Bible Study on Tuesday at 1pm and Wednesday at 7pm, both cover the same topic so you can pick the one that best fits your schedule.

Life is full of all kinds of hurts and habits; I hope to see you Friday night as you join us to Celebrate Recovery.
