Last Friday night at Celebrate Recovery at Memorial Road Church of Christ was special for many reasons! First, Tommy from the “The skit guys!” came and did a special “one man show” for us. He shared some of his life story and talked about the idea of “baggage”. (You can see the skit here: http://skitguys.com/videos/item/baggage-skit). He challenged us with what we do with our own baggage. Do we hide among our baggage like King Saul in I Samuel 10:22 “So they inquired further of the LORD, "Has the man come here yet?" And the LORD said, "Yes, he has hidden himself among the baggage." Or do we leave it with the keeper like David did a few chapters later “David left his things with the keeper of supplies, ran to the battle lines and asked his brothers how they were. – 1 Samuel 17:22? Through his skit, Tommy encouraged us to let go of our baggage, leave it with God, and let Him take control.
After his powerful performance we had our usual small groups and then a special Christmas dessert night and talent show! We had cookies, some homemade goodies, hot coco, coffee, and a “build your own cheesecake” bar!
Then the talent night began! We had several “Celebrate Recovery” themed performances including one from our own “Tobey Keith” with his remake of “I Love This Bar” into “I Love CR!” We also had some great kid performances with singing and a little ukulele playing!
We also had some great gift card and Celebrate Recovery door prizes.
Everyone got to take home a "homemade" (Thanks Andrew!) Celebrate Recovery Christmas Ornament.
It was a great night filled with tears and laughter for the Celebrate Recovery “Forever Family” at Memorial Road Church of Christ.
