Celebrate Recovery at Shepherd
Weekly Events
Every Thursday from 7:00-8:00 p.m. we meet for a time of worship and teaching or personal testimony. We then break into open share groups for men and women from 8:00-9:00 p.m.
Anyone 18 years old and older is welcome to attend Celebrate Recovery. Child care is not provided.
Monthly Events
At Shepherd, we gather the second Thursday every month for a meal at 6:30 p.m., followed by worship and a testimony or teaching in the sanctuary at 7:15 p.m. We then break into men’s and women’s open share groups at 8:15 p.m. The evening concludes by 9:00 p.m.
These groups are not issue-specific,and will never close to new members. They are great opportunities to meet new friends and share your hurts with others who understand.
Time is spent looking at a different step or principle, such as forgiveness or denial, and allowing attendees to share their thoughts and feelings on that topic. Sharing is not required in these open share groups.
Step Study Groups
Step study groups focus on working through the 12 steps and Recovery Principles by completing a series of four Celebrate Recovery workbooks, and using the Celebrate Recovery Bible. These groups meet weekly and close to new members at the 4th step.
New men’s and women’s step study groups are added as needed. Contact the church if you are interested in participating in the next group.
