Celebrate Recovery at Friends Church

Gratitude changes everything.

In recovery, it’s easy to focus on what’s broken, what’s hard, or what we’re still working through. But when we begin to practice gratitude, our perspective shifts. We start to see how far God has already brought us

This Thursday at Celebrate Recovery we’re talking about living a life of gratitude in our recovery, not just when things are good, but even in the middle of the process.

Come join us. Healing happens when we walk this journey together. ❤️

Relapse doesn’t usually happen all at once. It often starts with small compromises and quiet struggles we ignore.

This Thursday at Celebrate Recovery, Scott will be sharing the Relapse Lesson, a powerful reminder of how to protect the freedom God is building in our lives.

Whether you’re new to recovery or have been on the journey for a while, this is a message we all need.

Join us Thursday night.
Large Group starts at 6:30.

You don’t have to walk this road alone.

This Thursday ❤️

Connie is bravely sharing her story.

From anger and resentment…
To bitterness that weighed heavy…
To walking through the pain of alcoholism in her marriage and personal loss…

She’ll share how God showed her something freeing:
She cannot fix or change others, but she can surrender her own heart.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in anger, hurt, or trying to control what you can’t… this night is for you.

🌶 Chili Cook-Off before Large Group
5:30–6:15 PM — come early, taste some amazing chili, vote for your favorite, and enjoy some time together before Connie shares.

Come hungry. Leave lighter.

This Thursday at Celebrate Recovery we’re talking about something simple… but life-changing — Daily Inventory.

It’s not about perfection.
It’s about awareness.
It’s about noticing what God is doing in us before things pile up.

Cindy will be sharing how small daily check-ins with God can prevent big setbacks and bring real peace into everyday life.

Come as you are.
Hope, honesty, and healing are waiting. 💙

This is a Thursday night you don’t want to miss!

Frances will be sharing her powerful testimony. ❤️
Her story speaks to the journey of forgiveness, healing, learning healthy boundaries, and how real freedom begins when we bring our hurt into the light and let God do the deeper work.

If you or someone you love has been walking through pain, relationship struggles, or the process of letting go and healing, this night will bring hope and fresh perspective.

Join us Thursday. There is hope, there is healing, and you are not alone.

We all hit crossroads in life. Moments where we have to stop, look inward, and decide which direction we’re really going.

This Thursday, Pastor John will be teaching our Crossroads lesson at Celebrate Recovery. It’s about awareness, ownership, and making intentional choices that lead to freedom and growth.

Join us. You don’t have to walk this road alone.

This Thursday, Tom will be sharing his story, a journey from brokenness and hiding into freedom through God’s grace.

For years he tried to manage life on his own, but when he finally surrendered and stopped pretending, God began to do what only He can do, heal, restore, and make things new.

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you…” (Ezekiel 36:26)

Through Celebrate Recovery, counseling, and faith, Tom experienced real change, renewed relationships, and discovered something he had been missing for years — joy.

If you’re tired of carrying things alone, this Thursday could be your Day One.

Come be encouraged. 💙

Join us this Thursday at 6:30 PM for Celebrate Recovery as we focus on GRACE.

Grace isn’t about having it all together, it’s about discovering that God meets us right where we are and loves us enough to walk with us toward healing and freedom.

If you’re tired, hurting, or searching for hope, you don’t have to do it alone.

This Thursday at Celebrate Recovery, we’ll hear a powerful testimony from Jessica, a story of how God meets us right where we are and lovingly restores what once felt impossible.

Jessica’s journey is a beautiful reminder that no matter where you’ve been, God is always at work, shaping, healing, and renewing hearts. Her story points straight to the truth of Scripture, that when we trust a power greater than ourselves, sanity, freedom, and new life are possible.

If you’re feeling stuck, discouraged, or wondering if change can really happen… this night is for you.
If you’re searching for hope, purpose, or a place where you truly belong… you’re invited.

✨ Come be encouraged
✨ Come hear what God can do
✨ Come as you are

Join us Thursday at Celebrate Recovery.
There is hope. There is healing. There is restoration.
