Group Guidelines

Small Group Guidelines
These guidelines are in place whenever a group is in session. The group leader is trained and equipped to maintain these guidelines, therefore ensuring safety for the individual.

1. Keep your sharing focused on your own thoughts and feelings. Limit your sharing to three to five minutes.

2. There will be NO cross talk. Cross talk is when two individuals engage in conversation, excluding all others. Each person is free to express his or her feelings without interruptions.

3. We are here to support one another, not "fix" one another.

4. Anonymity and confidentiality are basic requirements. What is shared in the group stays in the group. The only exception is when someone threatens to injure themselves or others.

5. Offensive language has no place in a Christ-centered recovery group. Including no graphic descriptions.

 

Celebrate Recovery

 Blessed are the poor in spirit,
      for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
 Blessed are those who mourn,
      for they will be comforted.
 Blessed are the meek,
      for they will inherit the earth.
 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
      for they will be filled.
 Blessed are the merciful,
      for they will be shown mercy.
 Blessed are the pure in heart,
      for they will see God.
 Blessed are the peacemakers,
      for they will be called sons of God.
 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
      for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:3-10
