Step Studies Begin Thursday, March 4th

We just completed our first Celebrate Recovery Boulder men's and women's step studies, and are gearing up for the next round. Both the men and women will be meeting Thursdays from 7-9pm beginning March 4, 2010.

Are you unsure about joining a step study? Here are three reasons why you should:

1. You will move through each step in depth. 
Each step study participant is required to purchase the Celebrate Recovery Participants Guides, which include specific questions for each step. Participants answer these questions in writing and share them with their step study groups during each meeting. These questions will help you dig deep into your hurts, habits, and hang-ups and will focus your recovery efforts.

2. Step studies are a great place for accountability. 
Step study participants often grow close together since they are actively meeting and working through tough life issues. Accountability partners are easy to find and in high demand within these groups. If you feel stuck in your recovery, or haven't built an accountability team for yourself, the step studies are a great place to find that support team.

3. Leaders are born in step studies. 
Step 12 tells us, Having had a spiritual experience as the result of these steps, we try to carry this message to others and to practice these principles in all our affairs.  God provides this 'spiritual experience' through step studies, and primes participants for serving others. After completing the step study, you will have a working knowledge of the 12 steps and can potentially sponsor someone else or lead within the ministry.

We hope you take the time to pray about joining a step study. God does amazing things within these groups!
