Recovery Weekend is...
A
weekend of prayer for all struggling
with, and in recovery from addictive
illnesses
Alcohol and Drugs are not the only addictive sources.
Gambling, over-eating and relationships can become additive illnesses and
rob people of self-esteem, of family, of housing, and of employment.
Addiction destroys the human spirit. Families are often driven to
despair from guilt and shame. It is time for our Houses of Worship
to reach out in unison, acknowledging these illnesses, stimulating
education and providing love and support to all who are afflicted.

Do you know a person or a family that is struggling with addictions?
Almost everyone knows someone who struggles with an addictive
illness -- be it alcoholism or drug addiction or whatever. During worship,
we so often pray for those struggling with cancer, heart conditions, or other
"acceptable" medical conditions -- but the prayer requests for
addictive illnesses are too often stifled by a sense of embarrassment.
Addictive illnesses effect us all. Fear and shame are barriers to recovery
and healing. We want to replace fear and shame with compassion,
respect and acceptance.

Prayer can change hearts!
Prayer can change minds!

Our Mission is simple....
Whatever
day your house of worship has services
- Friday, Saturday or Sunday, won't you
ask them to join us in prayer on Recovery
Weekend?
