There are so many degress of Hurts, Habits and Hang-ups in this world.  I just wanted to share some of the exciting things that I have seen over the last 2 years in this Ministry.  People come in on Friday nights and they are scared and sometimes desperate.  They are welcomed into a friendly and safe place and are able to open up and talk about what is hurting them.  Talk about a Habit they can’t seem to get control of or an old Hang-up that still haunts them.  They find out they aren’t so different than alot of folks.  When we make Christ our center, we get rid of all the guilt and shame.  For me this has become a LIFE RECOVERY.  By God’s mercey and grace we have seen people regain the confidence in themselves through Christ to completely turn their lives around.  People that would have never stepped out in Service and volunteering, not only in Celebrate Recovery but in their Churches.  We have several leaders that have had 12 Step Study Groups in their homes.  It is so exciting to see Christ work through these people to help others.  To see the healing in individuals and families. 

We are getting ready to start our 3rd year and it is so exciting to see God at work in all of us.
