Oakwood Family,
I wanted to highlight Celebrate Recovery today in my "Ted Talks about Ministry". 

"CELEBRATE RECOVERY IS A CHRIST-CENTERED, 12-STEP RECOVERY PROGRAM FOR ANYONE STRUGGLING WITH HURTS, HANG-UPS, AND HABITS OF ANY KIND.  It is based on the 8 beatitudes Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount.

THE DNA OF AN AUTHENTIC CELEBRATE RECOVERY MINISTRY
1. Jesus Christ is the one and only Higher Power. The program is a Christ-centered ministry.
2. The Bible* and Celebrate Recovery curriculum based on the Bible are studied.
3. The ministry is “group based.” All groups are gender-specific.

4. Celebrate Recovery is designed to be done in face-to-face meetings. 
5. We are accountable to Christ, the local church, and the model of Celebrate Recovery 
6. Celebrate Recovery is a ministry of the local church. 

So.......we are looking for some help in this ministry! We have a few needs.

We are looking for a few volunteers in the following areas:

  1. Family dinner night table/dinner setup.  This occurs on the first Monday of the month.
  2. We would like to start Child care because we have had several attendees whose spouses would like to attend or others who have stated they can only make it once in a while because of no one to watch their children during this time. 
  3. We would like to start a CR prayer room  from 6:30-7 PM.

Please see Warren and Deanna Boyne to find out info about serving or participating at CR!!!

Part of my role at Oakwood is to help our ministry leaders and help connect people in ministry. We have about 20 areas of ministry within in the Great Family of Oakwood. If you are looking to serve at Oakwood, please come see me and we will get you "plugged into" ministry where you can serve the Lord and His people! There is joy in serving!

Thankful,
Ted Jones
Assistant Pastor of Ministries
