· Provide you a leader who has gone through a similar hurt, hang-up, or habit that will facilitate the group as it focuses on a particular Step each week. The leader will also keep Celebrate Recovery’s “FIVE RULES.”

· Provide you with the opportunity to find an accountability partner or sponsor.

· Encourage you to attend other recovery meetings held throughout the week.

Our Open Share Groups Will Not:

·NOT attempt to offer any professional clinical advice. Our leaders are not counselors. We will provide you with a list of approved counseling referrals.

·NOT allow its members to attempt to fix one another.

9:00 - 9:30pm | Fellowship Time

Join others for a time of fellowship, coffee and dessert after the share group time. It is an excellent way to unwind, relax and get to know others better. Many use this time to connect with a sponsor.
