What to Expect at Celebrate Recovery
CR meets every Thursday night from 6 ~ 9PM here at Calvary Baptist Church in the BrightPath facility (Calvary’s old sanctuary), which is adjacent to the church library. Everyone is welcome to attend & to ‘come as you are’!
We begin each evening with dinner, music & worship, followed by teaching & small groups. Dinner, dessert, coffee & child care are provided.
CR Welcomes Newcomers!
Celebrate Recovery for Adults:
Do you have trouble setting limits for yourself? Do you sacrifice your identity, desires, or needs to make others feel good about themselves or to ‘keep the peace’? Do you struggle with not feeling safe when you aren’t in control? Do you raise your voice to get your own way? Do you act kind on the outside, but feel bitter on the inside? Do you use food, sex/pornography, relationships, alcohol, or drugs to cope with life’s problems? Do you struggle with your body image? Do you love someone struggling with destructive behaviors, such as pornography, drugs, alcohol, depression, or suicidal tendencies? Do you live with someone who abuses you physically, sexually, verbally, or emotionally? Do you feel the continued effects from past traumas and abuses?
Don’t give up! There is hope!
