What is
Celebrate Recovery?
The purpose of Celebrate Recovery
is to encourage fellowship and to celebrate God's healing power in our
lives as we work our way along the road to recovery.
By working through the principles, we grow
spiritually, and we are freed from our hurts, habits and hang‑ups. Thus
freedom creates peace, serenity, joy and most important, a strong
relationship with others and our personal, loving and forgiving Higher
Power, Jesus Christ,
This is achieved through Praise, Worship,
informative lessons, personal testimonies, fellowship and small groups.

What is a hurt, habit or

A hurt, habit or hang‑up is something that
hinders your walk with God.

The feeling of being hurt is an
emotional reaction to another person's behavior or to a disturbing
situation. (abuse, abandonment, codependency, divorce or relationship
issues)
-
Habits'.
A habit is an addiction to someone or
something, (alcoholism, drugs, food, gambling, sex, shopping, or
smoking)
-
Hang‑ups:
Hang‑ups are negative mental attitudes
that are used to cope with people or adversity. (anger, depression,
fear, or unforgiveness)
These life problems can be stumbling
blocks or stepping stones. Healing is available through applying the
principles of a Bible based recovery process to your life,
Personal
Quote...
We were convinced that the answer to our
problems was in the Good Book. To some of us older ones, the part that we
found absolutely essential were the Sermon on the Mount, the 13th Chapter
of First Corinthians and the Book of James.

Anonymous

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 at 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
‑Reinhold Niebuhr
