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 my life is unmanageable. (Step 1) “Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor.” Matthew 5:3 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.” Mathew 5:4 Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ’s care and control. (Step3) “Happy are the meek.” Matthew 5:5 Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust. (Steps 4 & 5) “Happy are the pure in heart.” Matthew 5:8 Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. (Steps 6 & 7) “Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires.” Matthew 5:6 Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I’ve done to others, except when to do so would harm them or others. (Steps 8 & 9) “Happy are the merciful.” “Happy are the peacemakers.” Matthew 5:7, 9 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 & 11) Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words. (Step 12) “Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.” Matthew 5:10 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Harborside Ministry Lead CR Ministry Leaders CR Assimilator Leaders CR Teaching Leader CR Encourager Leader Tom Goodlet Sherry Alvarez & Susan O’Neill Pattie Brinkman & Jeri Lucas Paula Gilbert Coleen Tomasetti LUAU/SILENT AUCTION TEAM Valerie Nielsen Pattie Brinkman Jeri Lucas Mark Lasley MASTER OF CEREMONIES Warren Levene SET-UP/CLEAN-UP TEAM Curtis Morrison & Center of Hope Team DECORATIONS Neal & Tina Bostic Pattie Brinkman Kathy Wilson EVENT VOLUNTEERS Bob Craig Caitlin Wright Chris Bange Christine Burkhart Coleen Tomasetti Jennifer Coffman Lori & Vanna Meketsy Rhonda & Steve Bailey Wayne “Turkey Legs” Jones Sherry Alvarez Paula Smith Paula Gilbert Luau Kailua Pig Fish from the Sea Coconut Rice Steamed Rice ‘Oma ’oma ’o Almond Beans Island Sweet Potatoes Mâla Salad Tropical Fruit Beverages Coffee Mea 'ai momona (dessert) Dr. Serrano Westchase Chiropractic Here we will break down health and fitness concepts that have been publicized to seem more complex than they really are.

At the corner of US Highway 19 and Louis Holiday, FL 34691 P: 727-772-5804 || W: http://bhuntinglaw.com/ Dear Supporters, Nine years ago, Harborside Christian Church stepped out in faith to establish a Celebrate Recovery (CR) program as part of the Care Ministries. Today, we are recognized as the place to bring your hurts, habits, and hangups. At the Tampa Metropolitan Area YMCA, you’ll find caring staff members, new friends, and a warm and friendly environment that supports you and helps you reach your wellness goals. Thank you for your generous donation: Three-Month Family Membership The original fish house at the Dunedin Marina was a wooden shack with a loading dock, where local commercial fishermen unloaded millions of pounds of Florida seafood in the 1930s. Our family bought the fish company in 1971 with the intent to deliver the best and freshest bounty of the Gulf to our community. The Dunedin Marina sits on the west end of Main Street, next to Edgewater Park, a popular destination for both locals and tourists, who enjoy walking along the docks among the yachts, sailboats, commercial fishing boats, and charters or visiting the nearby public pier to take in breathtaking sunsets. Thank you for your generous donation: Official NFL football signed by Buc’s Quarterback Josh Freeman Our greatest victories are viewed as rebuilding lives for those who struggle with addictions of all types including food and pornography, and issues such as codependency, anger management, and abuse as a child or adult. What people often don’t realize is we really only have one reason for our struggles -- a sinful nature we inherited or were victims of, not chose. CR helps grow relationships with Christ to combat our sinful natures from taking enough of a hold to make us suffer from troubles that we can give to Him instead. His program helps us appreciate the grace of freedom that comes from understanding the recovery process, and from the tools He gives us for loving relationships with others and with Jesus, our true higher power. We thank all of you for attending this fund raiser which will help establish the resources necessary to field this year’s CR Leadership team by sending them to the yearly Saddleback Church’s CR Summit at Spartanburg, SC. There, they will be greatly inspired and learn how to make the CR program succeed here at Harborside. Thank you for your generous donation: 20lbs. of Bar Jack Fish Remember, CR is for everyone who sins or was a victim of sin. It helps everyone deal with their individual challenges as it refines your skills in having that essential relationship with Jesus Christ.
