Meets Every Sunday Evening

 

Celebrate Recovery is a ministry at St. Mark’s for anyone struggling with any of the following or in a relationship with someone struggling from the following:

 
  •  A Hurt (divorce, financial strain, grief, depression, abuse…etc.)
  •  A Habit (drinking, gambling, drugs, smoking cigarettes…etc.)
  •  A Hang-up (pornography, food addiction, shyness, anger…etc.)
 

 

Celebrate Recovery meets every Sunday night from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at St. Mark’s.  A typical Celebrate Recovery evening looks like this….
  • 5:30 p.m. - All who can gather share a meal and time to connect and catch up with each other.
  • 6:00 p.m. -  We begin our worship and large group time. Worship is led by a praise and worship team called Sanity (you might even recognize a pastor rocking out on his guitar). In large group, we alternate between a “teaching” provided by one of our pastors or leaders and a “testimony” given by someone celebrating God’s victory in their life. 
  • 7:00 p.m. -  We break into small, genders specific open-share groups, to discuss the topic of evening as well as sharing our hurts, habits and hang-ups. 
  • 7:45 p.m. - all groups meet together for refreshments and fellowship. 

Child care is provided upon request.

Celebrate Recovery is a ministry that first began at Saddleback Church (Rick Warren’s church, author of The Purpose Driven Life). To learn more about Celebrate Recovery from Rick Warren himself, click here.

 

 

There are printed brochures at the information centers for you to pick up for yourself or hand out to your friends, neighbors or co-workers. The Celebrate Recovery ministry is open to ANYONE with a hurt, habit or hang-up.

 

 
Realize I’m not God
Earnestly believe God exists
Choose to commit my life to Christ’s care and control
Openly examine my faults
Voluntarily submit and ask God to remove my character defects
Evaluate my relationships.
Reserve daily time with God.
Yield myself to God to be used by him to help others
