Celebrate
Recovery
Each Friday In The Box
Dinner at 6:00pm
August’s Focus – Is there anything holding you
back?
Celebrate Recovery is a Christ - centered recovery
program based on the 12 – steps and the 8
principles found in the Beatitudes. In August, we
will be ending our ninth year by first reviewing the
“Seven Reasons We Get Stuck” and then
celebrating our recovery! Jesus offers us a life free
from our past hurts, habits, and hang-ups. We
have a choice for a better future that does not
have to be based on our past mistakes. We have
learned a lot this past year, but we are not
finished. We will start our tenth year and begin
again at step one, Denial. If you have yet to join
us, there is no better time. We invite you to join us
as we celebrate our year end on August 28, and
then begin the healing journey with us as we start
again, on Friday, September 4. Why Wait? Open to
all. For more information on this confidential
ministry, contact Betty at
betty@crosswindsonline.org, or (585) 394-5857.
