“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.” — Ephesians 2:8

Grace is God giving us what we could never earn and refusing to give us what we deserve.

Recovery begins when we stop trying to fix ourselves and recognize that we need God’s grace.

Join us next Tuesday, 9/8, as Mary leads us through the GRACE lesson!

💚Mental Health Monday💚
Fruit Takes Time

As August comes to a close…take a moment to notice what’s changing. Not what’s perfect. What’s growing.

Recovery isn’t measured by flawless days. It’s measured by faithful ones.

Every time you choose honesty…
Every time you reach out…
Every time you pause instead of react…

You’re producing fruit. Maybe slowly. Maybe quietly. But faithfully. Don’t stop now. The work you’ve been doing matters.

✨ Try this today:
Write down three ways you’ve grown this summer. Celebrate them. Then thank God for continuing the work He started.

💬 Let’s talk:
What fruit have you begun to see in your recovery this season?

A personal testimony is one of the most powerful tools in Celebrate Recovery because it allows people to see that recovery isn’t just a program, it’s God changing real lives!

The purpose isn’t to glorify how bad our past was or how strong we are today. The purpose is to show what God has done.

Join us this coming Tuesday, 9/1, as Lisa shares her story and how God is using her as a leader in CR!

5:30- CR Dinner - Burgers, dogs, fixin’s

IT’S CHIP NIGHT TOO! Hope to see you by there!

❤️‍🩹 OUR MISSION IS SIMPLE: HELP PEOPLE FIND FREEDOM.

Celebrate Recovery exists to help people find freedom and healing from their hurts, hang-ups, and habits through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

And you don't have to have everything figured out before you walk through the doors.

Come as you are.

Celebrate Recovery is a place where we can get honest about what's happening in our lives without judgment, experience God's grace, and walk alongside a Forever Family that understands none of us were meant to do life alone.

But CR is also about so much more than attending a weekly meeting.

🙌 Celebrate Recovery is a discipleship ministry.

We're learning what it means to follow Jesus, surrender our lives to Him, grow spiritually, and let Him transform how we live.

🤝 Celebrate Recovery is a community engagement ministry.

We don't want to keep the hope we've found inside the walls of our churches. We want to carry Jesus' love and hope into our families, churches, neighborhoods, prisons, workplaces, and communities.

🔥 Celebrate Recovery is a leadership factory.

People walk through the doors looking for help and, over time, God can use their healing and testimony to help someone else.

The person sitting quietly in their first meeting today may become a sponsor tomorrow.

The person beginning a Step Study may someday lead one.

The person who once believed their story was filled with too much brokenness may discover that God can use that very story to introduce someone else to Jesus.

That's discipleship. That's community. That's recovery.

But none of it happens because of us.

We can't do this without Jesus Christ leading the way. ✝️

📖 “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” — John 8:32 NIV

So whether you're taking your first step or helping someone else take theirs, you have a place here.

Come as you are.
Find your Forever Family.
Experience freedom.
Grow as a disciple.
Help someone else discover hope.

And through it all…

❤️‍🩹 Jesus Christ leads the way.

In Celebrate Recovery, forgiveness teaches that true healing requires letting go of past hurts, forgiving others, and forgiving yourself. Forgiveness does not mean excusing bad behavior or staying in an unsafe, abusive environment. Instead, it frees you from the power of resentment and pain.

Forgiveness is a powerful part of the healing process because it helps us release the control that resentment, anger, and hurt can have over our lives.

Join us this Tuesday, 8/25 as Joe leads us through lesson 17, “Forgiveness”

The power of a personal testimony at Celebrate Recovery is that it allows the presenter to say, in a very real way, “I’ve been where you are—and God met me there.”

A strong testimony can point people to Jesus. The testimony isn’t about how strong the presenter is; it’s about what God has done!

Join us this coming Tuesday, 8/18 as Eric shares his story with us. Those that really know Eric, are witness to one of the biggest servant hearted men we know!

💚Mental Health Monday💚
Protect Your Peace

Not everything deserves your energy. Not every disagreement needs your response. Not every opinion deserves your attention.

Mental health isn’t only about adding healthy habits. Sometimes it’s about removing unhealthy ones. Healthy boundaries aren’t walls that keep people out. They’re gates that help you decide what belongs in your life.

Protecting your peace isn’t selfish. It’s good stewardship.

✨ Try this today:
Notice one thing that consistently steals your peace. Ask yourself whether it needs more access to your life…or less.

💬 Let’s talk:
What’s one boundary that’s helped protect your mental health?

The Celebrate Recovery “Amends” Lesson is based on Principle 6 and Step 9. It is one of the most freeing—and often most challenging lessons in recovery. Why? Because it moves us from simply admitting our wrongs to actively repairing the damage we’ve caused.

An apology says, “I’m sorry.” An amends says, “I’m sorry. I was wrong. How can I make this right?” It is backed by changed behavior. Sometimes the greatest amends is a changed life!

Join us this coming Tuesday, 8/11, as Scott K. Leads us through the Amends lesson.

We’ll do Dinner @ 5:30 (Salsa chicken, tortilla chips, lettuce and sides to make a salad, Sour cream, shredded cheese, peppers, onions) followed by Large Group worship and lesson @ 6:30, Small Groups @ 7:30, and wrap up with Connection Cafe’ @ 8:30!

See you then!
