💚Mental Health Monday💚
You Are Allowed to Ask for Help

Many of us learned that strength meant handling everything ourselves.
Recovery teaches a different lesson.
Strength isn’t pretending you’re okay.
Strength is being honest when you’re not.

Sometimes healing looks like:
• calling your Sponsor
• texting an Accountability Partner
• asking for prayer
• scheduling a therapy appointment
• admitting you’re struggling

Asking for help doesn’t mean you’ve failed.
It means you’re investing in your healing.

✨ Try this today:
Identify one support person you can reach out to before you actually need them.

💬 Let’s talk:
Who is someone you trust when life feels heavy?

In Celebrate Recovery, the "Admit" lesson focuses on openly examining and confessing personal faults to oneself, to God, and to a trusted individual.

Bringing our hurts, hang-ups, and habits out into the open helps us break the hold of hidden struggles.

“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed." (James 5:16)

Join us next Tuesday, 6/23 as Paul leads us through the Admit lesson.

Dinner starts at 5:30 followed by Large Group worship and lesson @ 6:30. Then we move into our gender specific Small Groups @ 7:30, followed by Connection Cafe’ @ 8:30 to wrap up the night!

Dinner: Breakfast casseroles (Cheese & Egg and Turkey & Sausage), French Toast, orange slices.

Pay Attention to What Fills You

Not everything that takes your time gives you life.

Some things drain us.

Some things restore us.

Mental health isn’t only about reducing stress.

It’s also about increasing what nourishes your soul.

Pay attention to what leaves you feeling:

• peaceful

• encouraged

• connected

• hopeful

Those things matter.

Healing grows when we intentionally make room for what fills us.

✨ Try this today:

Make a list of three things that genuinely refill your emotional tank.

Choose one and do it this week.

💬 Let’s talk:

What is something that consistently helps refill your cup?

The Celebrate Recovery Confess lesson is important because healing often begins when we stop hiding. It is based on James 5:16, which teaches us to confess our sins to one another and pray for one another so that we may be healed.

Confession is more than admitting wrongdoing—it is bringing struggles, hurts, hang-ups, and habits into the light. Secrets tend to keep people trapped in shame, guilt, and isolation, while honest confession to God and trusted people opens the door to forgiveness, accountability, and freedom.

Join us next Tuesday, 6/9, as Sherry leads us through the CONFESS lesson!

CR Dinner 5:30 - (Ravioli meal, salad and bread)

Confession is good for the soul!

Progress Over Perfection

One of the quickest ways to lose momentum is to believe that growth has to be perfect.

Missed a meeting?
Forgot to use a coping skill?
Had a rough day?

That doesn’t erase the progress you’ve already made.

Recovery isn’t built on perfection.
It’s built on persistence.

Every time you begin again, you’re strengthening a healthy habit.

A setback isn’t the end of your journey.
It’s simply part of the process.

✨ Try this today:
Notice one area where you’ve been focusing on perfection instead of progress.
Then celebrate one thing you’ve done well.

💬 Let’s talk:
What is one area where you’re learning to choose progress over perfection?

As we wind down the Mental Health awareness month of May, we thought it would be fitting to have a testimony from the CR National Director of Mental Health, Sarah Stanton.

Her story is impactful because it is honest, hopeful, and points to what God has done through the struggle—not just the struggle itself.

Join us this Tuesday, June 2, as Sarah shares her powerful story with us.

CR Dinner 5:30
Large Group 6:30
Small Groups 7:30

💚Mental Health Monday💚
Week 4: Consistent Steps, Real Change - Small Steps Still Count

Growth doesn’t usually look dramatic. It looks consistent.
It’s choosing the next right step
even when it feels small.
Healing isn’t one big breakthrough it’s a series of quiet decisions.

To show up.
To reach out.
To pause.
To try again.

Even when you’re tired.
Even when it feels slow.
Small steps don’t mean you’re stuck.
They mean you’re still moving.
You don’t need to do everything.
You just need to keep going.

✨ Try this today:
Pick one small step
and follow through
That’s enough for today

💬 Let’s talk:
What’s one small step you’re taking this week?

Spiritual Inventory Part 2 is important because it moves recovery from simply admitting problems to actively identifying what is still blocking healing and freedom.

It helps us honestly examine resentments, fears, feelings relationships, habits, and patterns that can quietly lead us back toward relapse or spiritual drift.

This lesson teaches that healing grows when we stop hiding, become fully honest with ourselves and God, and allow Him to reveal areas that still need surrender.

Join us this Tuesday, May 26 as Stephen leads us through the Spiritual Inventory Part 2 lesson!

5:30 - CR Dinner - Pizza/Salad
6:30 - Large Group
7:30 - Small Groups
8:30 - Connection Cafe’

A healthy inventory is not about beating ourselves up; it is about growth!
