Recap of 10-26-09



Monday night at Barefoot Church Celebrate Recovery, we had a great lesson on relapse and how to avoid it, using how Jesus faced temptation as an example. John M. did a great job presenting the lesson and thanked us for our prayers for his wife LeAnne who is recovering nicely from her surgery. In case you missed the lesson, you have another chance to hear it again at Beach Church on Friday night. Barry reminded us relapse does not have to be a part of recovery and there are some of us that have not relapsed thanks to the grace of Jesus Christ. Don't forget there is an important Leadership Meeting/Training on Saturday, November 7th at the church office at 9:00 am. If you would like to be involved in leadership in any way, we welcome you to attend and find out more about the opportunities awaiting you.

Recap of 10-19-09



We were blessed to have a guest speaker join us from another CR. He really opened up and shared his heart with us. We all were blown away at his honesty and the amount of courage it took to admit all of his sins with us. He also shared his incredible victories thanks to his total surrender to Jesus Christ which he did before he entered Celebrate Recovery. He has been living the 12 steps taken from the beatitudes for several years now, and it shows. God has changed him from the inside out. After hearing this testimony, it’s easy to realize God has only just begun His work in us. His dedication to living the life Jesus wants us to, is a true witness to us all! This was an incredible testimony – if you weren’t there to hear it Monday night you really missed a good one. We only put testimonies on here that we have permission to do so. This speaker asked us not to and of course we respect that decision. This is why you want to try and come in person because they might not all make it to here!

Recap of 10-12-09



Last night started off with an awesome night of worship as Sacred Blend led us through a Spirit filled set of songs. We were honored to have Tim V. from Beach Church join us to give us a lesson from the 10th step on the importance of daily inventory with a focus on journaling. He gave us all a sample of a journal which included some tough questions to ask ourselves about our godly behavior throughout the day. He brought up the different types of inventories: daily, periodic and yearly and the importance of all three to keep spiritually fit. If you missed it, you can go over it yourself in the step book because as Tim brought up, the lessons, "Daily Inventory" and "Yes" are the 2 most important lessons to continue spiritual health as Christians. Mark your calendar for the leadership meeting the first Saturday in November at 9 am. Have a blessed week.

Recap of 10-05-09



We had a real night of celebration last night at Barefoot Church Celebrate Recovery. First, many pitched in to have our first "Soup Cook Off." There were over 10 different types to choose from and the people's choice won a $40 gift certificate to Applebee's. The night continued with a great worship time and heartfelt testimony from Jamie P. of Myrtle Beach Community Church. If you missed it, you can see it here later today or at the latest Wednesday morning to hear how misplaced love can cause real hurts and hang ups. Finally hear how Jesus always came to her rescue and ultimately healed her of her issues. More children came back this week to hear their next lesson from the "Celebration Station" curriculum on denial. They are really getting a lot out of it, and we are already seeing changes in the children. Thank you Deborah and Rachel for your devotion to God's children! Hope to see you next week when Tim V. of Myrtle Beach Community Church shares on the 10th step and the importance of journaling. Thanks Tim for Celebrate Recovery ENews and keeping us informed of events in the surrounding area taking place in Celebrate Recovery.
