Providing the framework for our daily walk with God for restoration and ongoing healing of our lives. You've heard the expression "time heals all wounds." Unfortunately, it isn't true. Some people are still carrying hurts from 30 or 40 years ago. The truth is, time often makes things worse. Wounds left untended fester and spread infection throughout your entire body. Celebrate Recovery is a biblically balanced program developed at Saddleback Valley Community Church in California to help people overcome their hurts, habits, and hang-ups. Based on the actual words of Jesus rather than psychological theory, the recovery program has proved extremely effective in helping people manage addictive behaviors. Why Celebrate Recovery is unique:
How Celebrate Recovery Works This unique program is built around small group interaction and the fellowship of a caring community. Its foundation is the New Testament principle that we don't get well by ourselves. We need each other. Fellowship and accountability, exercised in a trusting and confidential environment, are two important components of spiritual growth. Who It's For Celebrate Recovery is not just for people with alcohol or drug problems. Celebrate Recovery is for people with any addictive behaviors that cause their lives to be managed by these behaviors. It seems like every day we hear or know of people who suffer from addictions to gambling, sex, food, money, divorce and many other problems. Celebrate Recovery is also for people who love and care for people who are addicted to destructive behaviors. We also have a group for women recovering from sexual abuse and trauma. What To Expect Celebrate Recovery meets each Thursday evening. We start the night with a potluck dinner at 6 PM. At 6:45, we move upstairs for a time of worship, followed by testimonies, teaching, and a video or a 12-step reading. At 7:30 we break up into men's and women's small groups that focus on a particular area of recovery. We end the evening with a time of fellowship and snacks at 8:30. |
