Welcome to...
Celebrate Recovery at Lakeshore St.
Andrew's Church!
| Humble yourselves, therefore,
under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due
time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for
you. Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil
prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to
devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because
you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing
the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who
called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have
suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make
you strong, firm and steadfast.

Pet 5:6-10 |
Though it's sometimes
difficult for us to admit, we have all lived less than perfect
lives. Our good intentions have failed us again and again. We
have hurt people, hurt ourselves and are left feeling that we
are failures as Christians or even as human beings. As our compulsive
or addictive behaviours progress, we find ourselves trapped in
habits which lead us on a treacherous path away from the peace
and joy God desires for us. This may leave us feeling insecure,
angry, frightened and without hope.
No matter what your hurts,
habits, or hang ups may be, there is hope! Celebrate Recovery
offers a safe, welcoming, grace filled, Christ-centered fellowship.
At Celebrate Recovery you will find many who are dealing with
struggles similar to your own.
You will also find a group of men
and women who share your desire to be made whole.
The foundation of our
recovery is our one and only higher power - Jesus Christ. When
we keep coming back and turn our will and our life over to Christ's
care, in time our destructive behaviours lose their grip and we
begin to embrace a new life, enjoying peace and serenity, trusting
that God is guiding our life and our recovery.
Join us this Friday night for delicious
food, welcoming fellowship, lively worship, inspirational teaching
and honest testimonies that will strengthen and support you on
the road to recovery!
