Celebrate
Recovery Step Study
Celebrate Recovery uses the Twelve Steps and its related Scripture and
the 8 principles (based on the beatitudes) as the biblical model for living
your life. A Step Study is a personal
journey through each of these steps and principles in a confidential group lead
by a facilitator who has completed a study.
When you finish the study you will have worked your hurts, habits, and
hang-ups through each step. A Step Study
is a long-term commitment to the members of the group. It will typically take 9-12 months to
complete the study. The program works if
you work it because you’re worth it. All
Step Study meetings are gender specific and follow Celebrate Recovery’s Fall
Small Group Guidelines. Our next Step
Study will begin on Thursday, October 13 at 7PM. Please sign up at the Connect Counter
today. Make the decision to come to your
first meeting and check out what the possibilities for a new life can be. What do you have to lose except a hurt, habit
or hang-up? What you can gain is freedom
and hope.

No Te Pierdas Las
Bendiciones De Servir
A veces, en nuestro
fervor bíblico para enfatizar que la salvación no es por obras, no
somos capaces de apreciar plenamente que hemos sido salvados para hacer
buenas obras (Efesios 2:10). De hecho, Dios te ha colocado en tu
iglesia con el fin de que tú puedas ser edificado, de modo que
puedas trabajar y servirle. Si nos permitimos seguir siendo
sedentarios esto significa que estamos descuidando el mismo propósito de Dios
para nuestra salvación y de otros. Al servir, sigues y te comportas como Jesús
y con eso también lo glorificamos. Si usted está interesado en servir
como líder de una célula, coordinador de voluntarios, equipo de
bienvenido o en cualquier capacidad, por favor, marque el lado reverso de la
tarjeta de asistencia y díganos en que área de servicio le gustaría participar
o contáctese con Pastor Tom Martínez al 407.556.5016 o Tom.Martinez@kissimmeechristianchurch.org.
