5 Cities Celebrate Recovery
Each Friday Night…
Join us at 5 Cities Celebrate Recovery at Coastal Community Church. Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered, 12 step recovery program for anyone struggling with hurt, pain or addiction of any kind. There are many issues that can become stumbling blocks in our lives and create bondage that negatively impacts relationships within our lives and with ourselves. Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to find community and freedom from the issues that are controlling our life.
Schedule:
Dinner - 6:15pm
Large Group - 7:00pm
Open Share Groups - 8:00pm
A typical Celebrate Recovery meeting includes:
A large group meeting
An open share small group
Newcomers 101 (for your first week only)
Participants are encouraged to invite their families and friends to the pre-meeting dinner if they so choose; the dinner is designed for a time of great fellowship and great food at affordable prices with other Celebrate Recovery participants.
The large group meeting is designed for the participant to set aside the busyness and stress of the outside world by entering into a time of prayer, praise and worship, and teaching as a way of getting in touch with the one and only Higher Power, Jesus Christ.
The open share small group meets immediately after the large group meeting and provides a place for the participant to connect with other Celebrate Recovery attendees. This is a safe place where participants can be in gender-specific groups and issue-specific groups.
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.
