Thursday Night Testimony!

Ashley:

In March 2005, Ashley made headlines when she miraculously talked her way out of the hands of alleged courthouse killer Brian Nichols after he took her hostage. Ashley used the pain of her past to share the hope and new life found in Jesus Christ.

“He knew what It was going to change me forever & He gave me everything I needed that night.  He gave me the ability to trust Him completely, I don’t know what the outcome was going to be, but I have to believe that its going to be for His glory.  Whether I live or if I die. That is how I try to live the rest of my life now.  It’s day by day by day, it’s Lord I don’t understand, this is really confusing, why did this happen. But it doesn’t matter He’s in control.”

What is the Journey Continues.

The original Step Study Celebrate Recovery Participant Guides (Books 1-4) are now called, The Journey Begins. Nothing has changed in these guides and these are the guides that should be used for people who are entering their first Step Study.

Did you know that God has used these four books to reach more than 3.5 million people as they have traveled the road to recovery.

Chances are, being a part of Celebrate Recovery, you have gone through the first 4 participant guides at least once, perhaps multiple times.

“The Journey Continues” (Books 5-8) is designed for people who have done at least one Step Study, completed The Journey Begins (Books 1-4), and preferably taken some time to apply the Principles and truths they have learned to their lives.

That means the new curriculum has…         

• Brand new acrostics,

• Brand new questions,

• Hundreds of Bible verses.

What is a Step Study?

Celebrate Recovery uses 8 principles & the 12 steps along with their related Scriptures as the Biblical model for living your life. A Step Study is a personal journey through each of these steps in a confidential group led by a facilitator who has completed a study. The group is open for newcomers to join until the group reaches the fourth step, when the group is closed for the duration of the steps.

We use Celebrate Recovery’s four participant workbooks. When you finish the study, you will have worked your hurts, habits, and hang-ups through each of the 8 principles & 12 steps. A Step Study is a long-term commitment to the members of the group. We do follow guidelines to keep the group’s trust. Step Study meetings are gender-specific and meet on different days than the main Celebrate Recovery Thursday evenings.

Celebrate Recovery strongly encourages the use of a sponsor and accountability partners when working these steps to recovery.

What is a sponsor?

A sponsor in Celebrate Recovery is someone who has completed the four participant’s guides. He or she has worked through the 8 principles and the 12 steps. The main goal of this relationship is to choose someone to guide you through the program.

What is an accountability partner?

An accountability partner is someone you ask to hold you accountable for certain areas of your recovery or issues, such as attendance, journaling, and so forth. This person can be at the same level of recovery as you are.

What is the difference between a sponsor and an accountability partner?

Sponsors should be trained and have completed the 8 principles or 12 steps. The main goal of this relationship is to encourage one another. You can form an accountability team of three or four. The accountability partner or group acts as the ‘team’, whereas the sponsor’s role is that of a ‘coach’.

CR WISDOM WEDNESDAY!

Wednesday 2/22 from 5:30 to 6:30 there will be training.  This is open to anyone who wants to come. Maybe you just have a question or a concern, this would be a great opportunity to talk about things.  It will be at the Ballast Point Campus on the 3rd floor Room A-202.  Any questions please email cr@stfchurch.com.
