Celebrate Recovery HB's Purpose
The purpose of Celebrate Recovery HB is to fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the 12-Steps
and 8 Recovery Principles. This experience
allows us to "be changed." We open the
door by sharing our experiences, strengths
and hopes with one another. In addition,
we become willing to accept God's grace
in solving our lives' problems.
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 strong personal
relationship with God and others. As we
progress through the program, we discover
our personal, loving and forgiving Higher
Power-Jesus Christ.
Welcome to an Amazing Spiritual Adventure!

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

Small Group Guidelines
1. Keep your sharing focused on your own thoughts and feelings.
Please limit your sharing to 3-5 minutes.
2. There will be no cross talk. Cross talk is when two individuals engage
in a conversation excluding all others. Each person is free to express
their feelings without interruption.
3. We are here to support one another, not "fix" another.
4. Anonymity and confidentiality are basic requirements. What is shared
in the group stays in the group! The only exception is when someone
threatens to injure themselves or others.
5. Offensive language has no place in a Christ-centered recovery
program. |
