Though September is often observed as Recovery Month, we’ll be focusing on Recovery for a weekend this October.

Join us for any or all of our programs in which we invite the Rev. Dr. Stuart Hoke to help us reflect on spirituality and 12-step recovery.

Saturday, October 12: The Spirituality of Recovery

11:00 AM: brunch nibbles
11:30 AM to 1 PM: Presentation & Discussion
Draesel Hall

The Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous draw together spiritual wisdom from ancient philosophy, religion, and common sense. These steps provide the foundation for all 12-step programs of recovery and can provide a new way of “good, orderly direction” ( which some understand through the acronym, G.O.D.) as well as offer insight and depth into existing spiritual practices. Whether you’re in recovery, you know someone who is in recovery, or are simply curious, please join us.

Sunday, October 13: Adult Forum and Sermon in Worship

9:30 AM to 10:30 AM Adult Forum
Draesel Hall
"Addiction: the Church's Role in the Work of Recovery"

Sunday, October 13, Choral Eucharist
11:00 AM to 12:15 PM
Main Church
Father Hoke will preach.
