life skills to handle the daily pressures of life. Have you ever
allowed the hurts, habits and hang-ups to get you down? If so, then Celebrate Recovery is a
place that can help you and your family. Yes, we do have some adults that became addicted
to street drugs or prescriptions meds. Yes, we have some adults who have an addiction to
alcohol. I am glad we provide such a loving place for them to work through those issues. Like
many Celebrate Recovery ministries, people have just found life is hard and this is a place
where they can work through those issues. How about giving God a chance to work through
your hurts, habits and hang-ups? We meet in the Worship Center at FBC Covington every
Tuesday night. For those who want to come early, a cookout is offered from 5:30–6:15. Large
group worship, lessons or testimonies are from 7:00–8:00 and open share small groups from
8:00 – 9:00. There groups are facilitated by some of God’s choice servants. Confidentiality is
respected in all our groups. Child care is provided for birth through 5th graders and students
in the 6th – 12th grade can join us in The Landing. For more information please contact Pastor
Jay at [email protected]
The Landing for Students 6th -12th Grade
The Landing is a ministry where students are loved. It is also one of the best gifts a parent,
grandparent, or guardian could give to their child. The students come just as they are to be
equipped to make Godly choices that lead to a lifestyle that allows them to reach their full
potential in this life. We meet every Tuesday from 7:00–9:00 PM in the main church building
down the children’s hallway. An orientation is offered for parents, grandparents and guardians.
