Welcome to woodsmen
A Monthly Gathering
Each 4th Thursday men will gather for a time of fellowship, worship, teaching, and discussion.
A Safe Encouraging Environment
Good news, you can come as you are. That means straight for work in dirty clothes, or dealing with struggles as husband, dad, or just being human. You will find an encouraging environment with men facing similar struggles.
Real Men Topics
Teaching will focus on biblical principles of generational influence on our families and society. The teaching will be followed by discussion facilitated by a table leader.
Purpose
Men and women stand before a judge, time and time again, because they have failed to make good choices. Riverwoods Recovery (RR) was birthed in the hearts of several people from Riverwoods Church and in our Christian community that had a burden for those who are suffering from drug and alcohol addiction. RR is a faith-based program that offers accountability laced with grace. When clients complete their terms, we hope they will leave with a fresh start, fulfilling the purpose intended for their lives.
Structure
Tuesdays: Step Study and discussion.
Fridays: Attendance is required at a Celebrate Recovery (CR) meeting, which is offered to anyone with any type of hurt, habit, or hangup. The meeting begins with an open meeting and a lesson based on the twelve steps/eight principals or a testimony from someone who has found healing and recovery through RR and CR.
Sundays: Dedicated to worship, either at Riverwoods Church or a preapproved place of worship. This gives our staff a chance to touch base with the clients at the end of the weekend.
