5 PM Food & Fellowship | 6 PM Panel Discussion
Join us for “Faith and Addiction: Communities of Hope” on Thursday, October 23, in the Foundry for an interfaith panel discussion exploring how different religious communities approach addiction and recovery. The evening begins with food and fellowship from 5-6 pm, followed by the panel discussion from 6-7 pm. Our interfaith panel will feature Pastor Adam and faith leaders from various religious traditions who will share their communities’ perspectives on addiction, discuss the support systems each tradition offers to those struggling with substance use, and identify areas where additional resources are needed. This event provides an opportunity to learn about faith-based recovery resources available across different religious communities. Members of the Resurrection community and their family and friends are invited to attend and learn about these community resources and support options.

This course walks you through the 12 steps and encourages community and faith. We take a biblical approach to the Twelve Steps with stories and characters from the old and New Testament with a pictorial look at the Resurrection Stained Glass Window. Understand the meaning of surrender, making amends, how to take an inventory, what is prayer and meditation and how to lead your own 12-step study. This guide can be done online in the Fall and Spring with our support groups or one on one with a sponsor.
