About CR:
The purpose of Saddleback Church's, and Everett
Praise Chapel's Celebrate Recovery ministry is to fellowship and
celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the "8
Recovery Principles." This experience allows us to "be changed."
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. As we progress through the
program we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher
Power - Jesus Christ, the one and only true Higher Power.
2010 Celebrate Recovery will start meeting again at Praise Chapel,
beginning the first Friday in February, at 6:30 P.M., with Solid
Rock Cafe after.
