Celebrate Recovery from Hurts, Habits and Hang-ups

Every Tuesday Night at 7pm

Hurting?  Wanting a change for your life that will make a difference?  There is a safe place for you.

Celebrate Recovery is a Christ Centered 12-Step Recovery Program.

The purpose for Celebrate Recovery is to be able to celebrate God’s healing power in our lives through eight recovery principles and the Christ centered 12 steps.  This experience allows us to be changed.  We open the door by sharing our experiences, strengths and hopes with one another.  In addition, we become willing to accept God’s grace in solving our life problems.  By working the steps and applying their Biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually.  We become free from our addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors.  This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others.  As we progress through the principles, we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power - Jesus Christ.

We meet each Tuesday night whether it’s a holiday or not.

• 6:00 - 7:00  Come early and enjoy a Chik Fil A Sandwich, chips and a drink for only $3.00.

Prayer for Serenity

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.  Living one day a t a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is; not as I would have it.  Trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next.  AMEN
