Celebrate Recovery, a worldwide Christian ministry in more than 30,000 churches, will hold its Chicago One-Day Seminar from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 5, at Harvest New Beginnings Church, 5315 Douglas Road in Oswego.
Celebrate Recovery helps people with hurts, habits, and hang-ups–pretty much everyone during some seasons of their lives. “CR,” as its members fondly call it, is based on the 12-step concept with biblical comparisons. The primary purpose of the one-day seminar is to equip other churches to start Celebrate Recovery at their church, according to Lynn Schilling, ministry leader for Celebrate Recovery at Harvest New Beginnings.
“We are your ‘church neighbor’ and want to personally invite you to this event in Oswego,” Ms. Schilling said. “There hasn’t been a CR conference in this area for four years and it may be another four years before there is one here again. We have had Celebrate Recovery at Harvest for 14 years and we would love to see more churches in our area offer it because many people would like to go to more than one meeting a week.”
There will be two training tracks at the seminar. “The Journey Begins” teaches church leaders how to start Celebrate Recovery at their church and provides a 90-day kick-off plan to launch the ministry. The second track, “The Journey Continues,” provides advanced training for Celebrate Recovery ministries already up and running.
Celebrate Recovery was started in 1991 at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California. The co-founder is Saddleback pastor Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life, which has sold more than 60 million copies. CR’s other founder, John Baker, will be teaching the second part of the Chicago-area seminar at Harvest New Beginnings. Participation in Celebrate Recovery helps people overcome addiction, anger, codependency, depression, overeating, loss of a loved one, pornography, and other issues.

Walk-in registrations are available on the day of the event from 7:30-8:30 a.m. However, only pre-registered guests are guaranteed seats.
