We’re celebrating our 11th Anniversary and you’re invited!  Join us at Living Hope Church on Thursday, September 21st for an amazing night of celebration and testimonies.

Festivities begin with a PARTY from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm!  There will be food, bounce houses, shaved ice, and door prizes!  At 7:00 pm, we’ll have a Praise & Worship Service with Testimonies.  At 8:15 pm, there will be a time for Small Groups and Newcomers 101.  The evening will end with a Celebration & Cake Cutting at 9:00 pm. Free childcare is available if you’re a parent attending any of the festivities.  Rev. Dawn Carter, Pastor of Congregational Care and leader of Celebrate Recovery, says “We want to invite the whole community to celebrate with us on September 21st!  If you know anyone who needs extra support, this would be a great night to invite them along and be inspired by the life-changing testimonies of how Celebrate Recovery provides support for the whole family! We are blessed to be a resource to our community of true freedom through the Living Hope of Jesus Christ the past 11 years with many more to come!”

Celebrate Recovery is a ministry of Living Hope Church and is for ANYONE to attend. People of ALL AGES are celebrating healing from hurts, habits and hang-ups!  Celebrate Recovery is for ANY KIND OF STRUGGLE in our lives.  In fact, less than 1/3 of the people who attend Celebrate Recovery struggle with substance abuse; the rest come for anger, marriage struggles, adult children on drugs, overeating, grief/divorce, depression/stress, you name it!  We even have a group for war veterans.  Many come because someone else in the family is struggling.  If a family member is struggling, it is most likely affecting others in the family. There are now 35,000 Celebrate Recovery churches around the world, and that number continues to grow. We are part of a movement that is bringing the healing power of Jesus Christ to the hurting and broken through step studies and journeys.  To date, over 5 million people worldwide have completed a step study.  

Celebrate Recovery meets every Thursday, starting with dinner at 5:30 pm, large group worship at 7:00 pm, small confidential, gender-specific groups at 8:00 pm, and coffee & snacks at 9:00 pm.  Middle and high school students are welcome to join us at “The Landing,” and younger children can attend “Celebration Place.” For more information on Celebrate Recovery, visit our website at www.LivingHope.Today, call our church office at 352-394-2412, or come to church on Thursdays.  There is free childcare available for newborns to 5th graders.  Living Hope Church is located at 950 7th Street, Clermont, FL 34711 (corner of Highway 50 & Seventh Street, downtown Clermont).
