Celebrate Recovery, a dynamic, Christ-centered, 12-step program is beginning a group in Rocky Mount. Gogginsville United Methodist Church will host the first CR meeting Friday, February 1, at 6 pm. Meetings will be held every Friday evening with a large group session from 6 to 7 pm, followed by small group meetings from 7 to 8 pm.

CR is a nationally-recognized program for those who are looking for help with problems such as substance abuse, past hurts, co-dependency, anger and sexual purity. CR meetings are designed to be a safe place to meet in a group setting, focusing on God’s solutions to the hurts, habits and hang-ups that are common to all.

Celebrate Recovery was founded in 1991 by John Baker and Pastor Rick Warren at Saddleback Baptist Church in California. A link to the CR’s national website can be found at www.celebraterecovery.com.


Meetings

Meetings will be held every Friday evening with a large group session from 6 to 7 pm, followed by small group meetings from 7 to 8 pm.


CR Founder, John Baker, states that CR’s purpose is to provide fellowship and, “celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the ‘8 Recovery Principles,’ (based on the Beatitudes, found in Matthew 5: 3 – 10). By working and applying these 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.”

The Road to Recovery
Lenten Sermon Serie
s

Everybody is in need of some type of recovery.
That may seem like a radical statement, but when you stop to think about it, it is truth.

Are there any of us that cannot name some hurt, some habit, some hang-up that is resulting in problems in daily life?

Are there any of us who has not caused pain to others? Anyone who has not felt that they have failed themselves…failed God?

We all need recovery from the poor choices we’ve made or the negative circumstances we find ourselves in.

The great news is, that is exactly why Jesus Christ came into this world: to bring us the joy and freedom that comes through His forgiving, healing, life-changing grace.
