IS CELEBRATE RECOVERY FOR ME OR SOMEONE I KNOW?
Living in a broken world we all deal with life’s hurts, hang-ups, and habits. No one has the ability, nor should they attempt to face their hurts on their own. Celebrate Recovery is a beautiful community of strugglers that courageously enter this safe and beautiful space to get honest about our pain, and the negative ways we may see ourselves, God and others. In this process we come to accept that some of the habits we may have developed to escape our pain has caused destruction in our life and those close to us.
Celebrate recovery is a biblically balanced approach to help bring sustainable recovery and healing to our hurts. It guides us toward new healthy truths and life-giving habits as we repair our broken relationships. Join more than 7 million hurting people across the globe who now walk in freedom through the power of Jesus Christ as we walk through the 8 principles of celebrate recovery based on the Beatitudes in Matthew 5.

They will begin gathering at First Wellsville UMC June 15th at 7pm. The first Thursday of the month there is a potluck dinner at 6pm.
A vote was taken by the Ad Board on Thurs., May 11, whether or not to enter into the discernment process for disaffiliation from the United Methodist Church with this body of believers. The results of the vote were 3 Yes, 6 No and 1 Abstention. Therefore, we will not be entering into the discernment process. The Ad Board has agreed on the following 3 main reasons for this decision:
- We don’t believe it’s the proper time, as we don’t know what changes there will be made to the Book of Discipline in the future. It feels like the cart before the horse.
- We believe it may cause interference with God’s movement here in Wellsville. Entering the process would take all our focus and resources from the mission.
- We are concerned it may do more harm to this church body at this time.
We acknowledge there is risk in this decision, but move forward in trust in the Lord.
