Celebrate Recovery meets in Brighton

Over thirty people from Brighton, Fairfield, Wayland, Olds and Washington, including one newcomer, met at the Brighton Community Church Oct. 1. The evening included praise and worship music and a lesson on the importance of maintaining an attitude of gratitude in recovery from hurts, habits and hangups.

There was also an opportunity for gender-specific optional individual sharing, including two women's sharing groups, one for those struggling with chemical dependencies, and one for all other hurts, habits or hangups.

There were age-appropriate activities for eight children at the Brighton Church of God Gym. The evening began with a shared meal. Contributions for the next meal can be made by contacting Sharon at smwagner123@gmail.com.

CR Brighton will soon be beginning another women's 'Step Study” (a personal journey through the 12 Steps of Recovery and their related Biblical Scriptures) in a small confidential group held another time throughout the week and led by a facilitator who has completed a study.

The next weekly Celebrate Recovery meeting will be held on Thursday, Oct. 8 at the Brighton Community Church at 6 p.m.
