Based on the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anony- mous, Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered pro- gram for those dealing with hurts, pain and a variety of addictions. It started with less than two dozen attend- ees in 1991 at a California church. Since then, more than 35,000 churches across the globe off er the ministry as a way to facilitate healing through the power of God. Scott Zielke, associ- ate pastor of congrega- tional care at Stanfi eld Baptist, said the program provides a path to healing for everything from anger and money issues to sex- ual addictions and alcohol or drug abuse. It centers around establishing and nurturing a personal rela- tionship with Jesus Christ. The group meets Mon- days at 6 p.m. Zielke said a typical gathering begins with a time of worship, as well as celebrating recov- ery milestones of those in attendance. In addition, a lesson is presented or someone shares their testimony. The attendees then break into smaller gender-specifi c groups to delve further into sharing and providing sup- port to each other. Celebrate Recovery meets Mondays, 6-8 p.m. at Stanfi eld Baptist Church, 310 E. Wheeler Ave. For more information, call Zielke at 541-571-6886 or the church at 541-449-3313.
