Celebrate Recovery introduces The Journey Continues–four new participant’s guides designed as a revolutionary, new second step study curriculum. This step study is taken after completing The Journey Begins (Participant Guides 1-4).
Sign up for this study by filling out the form on Wednesday night at the Information Table.
This new men’s study starts in September and will be on a Thursday night.
Have you ever wanted to read through the entire 66 books of the Bible, but didn’t know how to go about it?
One way to read the bible is through a plan, and we’re sharing a one year reading plan here that has you reading a variety of verses each day:
To start your Bible reading plan, just download this PDF document and print it out. After you finish the reading for one day, then cross off that day and then return for the next four verses on the next day. In just 365 days you will complete all 66 books of the Bible, helping you to understand God’s plan for humanity and for you personally.
Since 2003 we were using the web site name of rollinghillscr.com, then rollinghillscr.org, and recently switched names to tualatincr.org, but why?
It all comes down to clarity of names, we do meet on Wednesday nights at Rolling Hills Community Church, but we didn’t want to confuse visitors with the name rollinghillscr.org, so we’re now using tualatincr.org and continue to meet at Rolling Hills Community Church.
Welcome to our CR, where the goal of offering help, hope and healing for people’s hurts, habits and hangups continues.
Starting the week of August 26th we will no longer offer Zoom for Large Group, only for Small Groups.
You may attend in person for Large Group and Small Group while maintaining social distancing during the pandemic.
To attend a Small Group by Zoom, please contact the group leader.
Contact us with any questions or comments about this new schedule.
CR is talking about using Zoom.us for video calls to do Small Groups, with guidelines:
The online group will be gender specific. They must be led by a trained leader from a local Celebrate Recovery. All members are committed to being alone in the room they are in.
These groups will be formed from existing groups from a local ministry. These groups will be overseen by the Ministry Leader from a local CR.
The CRCR guidelines must be used every time. The leader is subject to remove anyone who is not following the guidelines.
The CRCR guidelines are:
1. Keep your sharing focused on your own thoughts, feelings, and actions. Please limit your sharing to 3-5 minutes.
2. There is NO cross talk please. Cross talk is when two people engage in a dialogue during the meeting. Each person sharing is free to express feelings without interruptions.
3. We are here to support one another. We will not attempt to “fix” one another.
4. Anonymity and Confidentiality are basic requirements. What is shared in the group stays in the group. The only exception is when someone threatens to injure themselves or others.
5. Offensive language has no place in a Christ-centered recovery group.
6. All members must use headphones. This will ensure that no one else can overhear what is shared in the group.
7. All members must be on camera. If the group leader asked, they must show the rest of the group that no one else is in the room.
8. The meetings will not be recorded.
Our CR ministry leader Jack was able to present his testimony at the Rolling Hills Men’s breakfast this past Saturday. If you couldn’t attend in person, then here’s a chance to hear what he had to say about recovery from hurts, habits and hangups.
Two weeks ago we organized our first Bunco Night, and by the looks of it, all involved had a blast. If you have an idea for a social event, then let us know about it so that we can do life together and have some fun.
Heavenly Father,
Tonight, as we continue to evaluate our relationships and work on getting right with You, ourselves, and those in our lives, we focus on forgiveness…and for guidance, we turn to the brilliance of Colossians 3:13, where Paul wrote, “Be gentle and ready to forgive; never hold grudges. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.”
May we follow Your gracious example and model Your forgiveness in the lives of those who have hurt us. By doing so, we know that we will move closer to You and closer to the personal peace we all seek, while at the same time living out Your will for us – and not our own.
In Your Son’s Name we pray, Amen.
God,
Tonight we reach the point in our study where we begin to start evaluating our relationships, offering forgiveness to those who’ve hurt us and making amends for the harm we’ve done to others. As we prepare to do this, we recall Romans 12:18, which reminds us “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”
Father, we are both comforted and encouraged by the knowledge that, in You, we can, indeed, live at peace with everyone. May we gain strength, courage and confidence from Your love, and, with You working in us, may we become “merciful peacemakers” in the lives of those who’ve hurt us and those we’ve hurt.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
