SUMMARY:Quarterly 12-Step Eucharist\, Open 12-Step Meeting\, and Refreshments
DESCRIPTION:Quarterly 12-Step Eucharist\, Open 12-Step Meeting\, and RefreshmentsMay 8 at 6 PMEveryone is welcome! Folks in Recovery. Friends of Folks in Recovery. Folks who think they may have a problem. EVERYONE can benefit from the 12 steps.Location: Barth House Episcopal Center | 409 Patterson St.\, Memphis\, TN 38111Contact episcopal@recoverycommission.org\n\nThis communion service combines scripture\, the liturgy of the word and table\, and the 12 steps and demonstrates how the spirituality and principles of the 12 steps are an integral part of the Eucharist of the Episcopal Church. For people in recovery\, this service will demonstrate how each of the 12 steps is present in the liturgy of the word and the table. For those not involved in 12-step recovery\, this service will be an introduction to the spirituality of 12-step programs.\n\nThe Episcopal Church’s relationship with 12-step recovery goes back to 1935\, when Episcopal priest Dr. Samuel Shoemaker worked with Bill W. and Dr. Bob S. to develop the organization that is known today as Alcoholics Anonymous. AA\, in turn\, became the model for numerous other addiction (substance & behavioral) recovery programs that are based on the same original 12 steps.\n\nOur experience is that all would benefit from the principles of the 12 step programs as a spiritual tool in seeking God’s grace to live a healthier\, more authentic life. This Eucharist is an open-door\, come-as-you-are service to celebrate sobriety and to pray for peace for those struggling with alcoholism and other addictions in themselves or their loved ones. We invite those who are involved in 12 step recovery\, as well as those who are not members of a 12-step program\, to attend.\n\nEpiscopal Diocese of West Tennessee Addiction & Recovery Commission Co-Chairs: Lucy Owens (901-497-0691) and Shannon Tucker (901-281-0785).

SUMMARY:Exploring the 11th Step and Your Higher Power
DESCRIPTION:What is the shape of your Higher Power?\nExploring the 11th Step and Your Higher Power\nEleventh Step Retreat\nSaturday\, March 28\, 8:30 a.m. – Noon\nBarth House Episcopal Center\n409 S. Patterson St. \nJoin us for a gentle\, reflective half‑day retreat where we will explore with each other the experience of the 11th Step: “Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood God.” \nThrough quiet space\, guided meditation\, personal reflection\, and simple spiritual practices\, we’ll explore what it means to connect with a Higher Power that is loving\, trustworthy\, and personal to each one of us. This retreat isn’t about defining a specific God—but about discovering how the presence of Spirit has already been shaping our recovery and our lives. \nParticipants will be invited into: \n\nCreative practices for naming or reimagining their Higher Power\nA guided meditation on the God who knows and loves each of us\nA gentle look at moments of grace along our own recovery journeys\nHonest conversation about conscious contact\, hope\, and spiritual growth\nA simple closing ritual to carry peace and clarity into daily life\n\nThe tone of the day is spacious\, welcoming\, and grounded in personal experience rather than doctrine. Whether you’re new to recovery\, have been here for years\, spiritually curious or simply longing for a deeper sense of connection\, this retreat offers a chance to breathe\, listen\, and be held by each other and a Presence greater than ourselves. \nCome as you are. Leave with a clearer sense of the God of your understanding—and the simple prayer your heart most needs right now. \nPlease sign up by following this link: https://tinyurl.com/11thStepRetreat. This event is free and open to all! \nFor more information\, contact event co-chairs\, Shannon Tucker (shannon.tucker@gmail.com\, 901-281-0785)) or Mary Fortin (mlbfortin2011@hotmail.com\, 901-359-0894). \n
