Crossroads Church in Perry is starting up a new program to help area residents coping with life.

Jennifer Anderson says Celebrate Recovery is a program that caters to anyone having a tough time with hurt, habits or hang ups.

Anderson says though Celebrate Recovery is like a 12 step program, it’s not all intense discussion.  There is some entertainment and fellowship involved as well.  Each meeting starts with a free meal, followed by worship music and then breaking into groups for specific issues.

The program starts up this August 25th at Crossroads Church.  Dinner starts at 6 with worship and discussion beginning at 7.  All residents 18 and older are welcome to attend.
