WHAT IS CELEBRATE RECOVERY?

Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered program and is for anyone struggling with ANY hurt, habit or hang-up. We have found hope and help to overcome through the power of Jesus Christ! The purpose of our Celebrate Recovery ministry is to 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 lives´ problems. By working and applying these Biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others.

"Adults sometimes struggle with how to talk with children following tragic events, such as natural disasters, plane crashes, and school shootings. Below are some guidelines to help in these difficult situations:

1. Children gauge their reactions based on how the adults around them respond to a situation.

We naturally feel vulnerable and emotional when exposed to a tragic event. However, children may not understand the intensity of our emotion and they can become scared. We can demonstrate to children that expressing our emotions is normal while not overwhelming them with our reactions. They should see we feel terrible about the event, but that we will do everything we can to keep them safe. Showing extreme fear and/or agitation will not help children. Talk to a trusted friend or other adult about your feelings."
