Celebrate Recovery returns to Ashland; kickoff meeting includes meal, group sessions

Transformation Network and New Life Community Church are partnering to relaunch Celebrate Recovery in Ashland.

Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-Centered 12-step recovery program with the goal of helping people overcome their hurts, habits and hang-ups.

Celebrate Recovery isn't only for those with addictions. It's also for people who have depression, anxiety, fear, sexual addictions, food addictions, family issues, mental health issues and various types of abuse issues. The ministry provides help, motivation, education and a family. Celebrate Recovery is an environment to foster lifelong friendships and be empowered to be victorious in life through Christ.

Celebrate Recovery is different from other programs in that it functions on the premise Jesus Christ helps those who need help with all types of issues. Celebrate Recovery provides a safe place for people to express what they are dealing with, and offers hope and encouragement.

Celebrate Recovery meetings will be held at New Life Community Church, 1489 State Route 511, every Thursday. The night will begin with a meal at 5:30 p.m., followed by a large group meeting at 6:30 p.m., and share groups starting at 7:30 p.m. The kickoff meeting is April 11.
