Support & Recovery Announces 4 New 12 Step Meetings beginning in May '08
Support & Recovery at Gateway offers many outlets for the community to “Come as you are” and to truly embrace “No Perfect People Allowed.” We recognize the 12 Steps as a means for all broken people to overcome their dependencies, whether they’re substance or behavioral addictions. Since 2004 we’ve offered 12 step meetings every Monday evening as a place for anyone and everyone to address their addictions, as well as grow in their faith and explore what it means to follow Christ. We’ve seen amazing life-change when people commit to regular attendance, connecting with a sponsor and working all 12 steps.
(All 12 step meetings meet in the Cottage, on the 2nd floor of the KidsQuest building.)
FOUR NEW MEETINGS STARTING the first week in May!
• Spiritual Awakenings AA meeting - Mondays at 12 Noon. Begin the week with recovery! The meeting will open with 5 minutes of meditation, reading from “Reflections” and “As Bill Sees It,” Then it’s open discussion. Look forward to seeing you there.
• Women's 12 Step Bible Study - 2nd & 4th Mondays 8pm to 9:30pm. Safe, confidential meeting for women who want to explore and deepen their walk with Christ and work the 12 steps. Although there will be assignments provided for deeper discussion, participants may join us at any time.
• CA meeting. Wednesdays at 7am - 8am Cocaine Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength & hope in helping others to recover from their common addiction. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances.
