Women’s Anger Small Sharing Group begins TONIGHT at Celebrate Recovery!

As women who struggle with anger, we may not recognize that our anger has foundations in other basic emotions—usually fear or pain. These basic emotions may have become damaged as adults or when we were children. Some of us may have been abused or neglected as children. Others may have lost a parent or a loved one to death. Many of us may have been abused or cheated on by a spouse or boyfriend.

We may have learned how to express anger inappropriately from our parents, other relatives or friends. We did not realize that when we lashed out in anger, we were ignoring our fear, pain or other deeper hurts, habits or hang-ups. Some of us did not even realize we were struggling with anger because we did not express it; rather, we stuffed it down and kept silent.

Anger is one of our ten basic, God-given emotions. This emotion can be CONSTRUCTIVE or DESTRUCTIVE—depending upon our response.

We invite you to attend Celebrate Recovery so that anyone suffering from or coping with addictions can feel loved, prayed for, and surrounded by people just like them.

WE ARE THOSE PEOPLE.

Come join the family.

Our meeting is every Friday night from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Children’s Worship Wing.

Dinner is served from 6 to 6:50 and is only $2 per person. We also serve coffee and dessert from 9 to 9:30 p.m.

Childcare is free for all children through 5th grade.

You can come any time—no need to sign up. Hope to see you there!
