Give it a Rest! Rick New

Saturday, Jan 2 11:00 am

Exodus 20:8-12
The question was asked, “How do we keep the Sabbath?” In this interactive exploration we will look at ways to enter into a time that is truly restful and invigorating. God meant the Sabbath to be just that. So let’s learn what the God’s word says and how that looks in a reflective application for our time.

Alcoholics Victorious: 12-Step Program Allen Leigh

Friday, Jan 8 7:00 pm

Alcoholics Victorious is a support group for chemically dependent persons. By sharing our experience, strength, and hope, we encourage Christian growth as we slowly separate ourselves from the bitter and lonely trauma of alcoholism/addiction and its effects on the family.

The focus of Alcoholics Victorious is to provide a safe group environment where recovering individuals who have recognized Jesus Christ as their “Higher Power” can gather together and share their struggles and victories.

Believers struggling with addiction to alcohol/drugs who, although committed Christians, may be suffering in silence out of fear, shame, guilt, and lack of ability to trust should attend these meetings. Anonymity is the foundation of this program. What is said in meetings, stays in meetings.

Why a "Christian AA?"

Those who are familiar with AA may well ask this question. For believers in Christ, the answer is simple: we have identified Jesus as our “Higher Power” and we would welcome the opportunity to meet in His name to deal with the problems that surround alcoholism/addiction. The meetings allow us to speak freely of our relationship with Him, share our struggles with faith issues, and use intercessory prayer for our healing. Christians are NOT immune to addictive or compulsive disorders, and hiding our problems from our church adds to our “shame” burdens and hinders healing.

Those who have not yet placed their faith in Christ have an opportunity to come to know the true “Higher Power” spoken of in AA, finding an atmosphere of accepting Christian love in which to form a personal relationship with the Lord.

For those unfamiliar with the AA approach to recovery, Alcoholics Victorious provides an opportunity to learn the reality that there is a “spiritual” element in addiction that must be addressed through the true God. And here in a Christian environment, forgiveness and release from shame can be found so that we may approach our GOD with freedom and boldness.

In Alcoholics Victorious, the 12-step approach to recovery is combined with support from God’s Word, confidential sharing among group members, and loving prayers.

The Outward Way Rick New

Saturday, Jan 23 11:00 am

Matthew 5:13-16
The mission that lies before each of us is God sized and beyond your or my comprehension. Your life has infinite value but how much more rich the living of it when your life is used to bless the life of another? Jesus clearly intended that His body of believers would make a positive and irresistible call to a world living in darkness. His challenge lies before you and me to be light in the darkness.
