What is Celebrate Recovery?
If you are looking for a way to live a more peaceful life and freedom from your hurts, hang-ups and habits, come join a bunch of imperfect people who gather to learn and help each other in the struggles of today's world. Celebrate Recovery is a biblical and balanced program, based on the actual words of Jesus rather than psychological theory. Celebrate Recovery is one of Plain Community Church's ministries that reaches out to Plain, Lake Wenatchee and the surrounding Upper Valley.
Celebrate Recovery at PCC is offering a “second wave soft launch” beginning 7:00 pm on Tuesday, March 20th for people who would like to either step up as a leader or just do the Step Study. We will begin again with the first step study and will continue on until the official launch in June. Leaders will continue to meet at 6:30 pm and the Step Study will begin at 7:00 pm. Celebrate Recovery is not just for drug or alcohol addicts, but for anyone who suffers from a hurt, hang-up or habit that they can’t control such as anger, anxiety, fear, gambling, overspending, overeating to mention a few. For questions contact Barb Williams 206-914-5776 or email at itsbarbwired@gmail.com.

CELEBRATE RECOVERY'S EIGHT RECOVERY PRINCIPLES
THE ROAD TO RECOVERY BASED ON THE BEATITUDES
THE ROAD TO RECOVERY BASED ON THE BEATITUDES
Realize I’m not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and that my life is unmanageable. (Step 1)
“Happy are those who know that they are spiritually poor.” Matthew 5:3a TEV
Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him and that He has the power to help me recover. (Step 2)
“Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:4 TEV, NIV
Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ’s care and control. (Step 3)
“Happy are the meek.” Matthew 5:5a TEV
Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust. (Steps 4 and 5)
“Happy are the pure in heart.” Matthew 5:8a TEV
Voluntarily submit to any and all changes God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. (Steps 6 and 7)
“Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires” Matthew 5:6a TEV
Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I’ve done to others when possible, except when to do so would harm them or others. (Steps 8 and 9)
“Happy are the merciful.” Matthew 5:7a TEV; “Happy are the peacemakers” Matthew 5:9 TEV
Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will. (Steps 10 and 11)
Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and my words. (Step 12)
