We are preparing to change our look at CR. Pastor B.J. and Pastor Terry are working on our new flyers, posters, video, leader's shirts, etc. We will be canvassing neighborhoods and some businesses to help get the word out about our program. Wed. night our Pastor was speaking about word of mouth being the best way to advertise, and how sometimes we have to roll up our shirtsleeves and get out there. That's what we want to do for Celebrate Recovery.
When we are inviting someone to church or church activities, we come up against a lot of different excuses why people won't come. Trying to tell someone about Christ becomes an even bigger job, and folks can be rather cruel at times. As Christians we come up against a lot of hard knocks. I saw a saying the other day that I thought fit me very well. This is how I want to be as I continue to work in the Kingdom of God. "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ---WOW!!!--WHAT A RIDE!!!!!!"
Have a great day, and God bless,
Laura S.
Fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in our lives. This experience allows us to be changed. We open the door by sharing our experiences, strengths, and hopes with one another. In addition we become willing to accept God's grace in solving our life problems. By working this Christ-centered program, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our dysfunctional, compulsive, and addictive behaviors.
