Recovery Sunday 2019

Brendan Murphy on September 18, 2019

At the 10:30 and 12:30 services,

  • Recovery Sunday is a celebration of the deliverance by God’s grace of persons who have been imprisoned by a punishing and bewildering illness.
  • Such celebration can include worship built around a “Twelve Step” Eucharist, a talk by a recovering person, or a sermon about God’s grace as offered and seen in recreated lives of recovering people. It may include distribution of educational pamphlets about alcoholism and other addictions, and information about what this parish does to support recovery, where help is available, and who to contact.
  • Some parishes arrange for a special “open” AA, Al-Anon or other 12 step meeting during the day, and Sunday school classes about the issue.
