On their way to a Happy Ending
(AUGUST 2008) Angie and Scott and their three kids just got an apartment and will be moving out. It’s been a long road for them but they finally made it!. . . Sean just got a job at a restaurant, and the Mission hired his wife Brandy to work in the Women’s Dorm here on Saturdays. . . Gary started a job at a manufacturing business.
Residents Andrew, Dennis, Gretchen, and Paul took part in videotaping to produce a program-length feature and shorter public service announcements for the Clarksburg Mission. (See cover story for details). Others staff, volunteers, and residents appear doing their jobs or briefly in the dining hall. The testimonies of Andrew, Gretchen, Paul, and Housing Director Lisa Hartline bring home the true message of what the Mission is all about. Thanks for sharing, guys!

Celebrate Recovery
This Christ-centered program has proven effective for Mission residents in the past; however, we had to access it from a local church who had a certified instructor. About a month ago, Assistant Director Claudia O'Dell and Housing Director Lisa Hartline attended training and were certified to instruct Celebrate Recovery themselves.
A wonderful vehicle for spiritual support and accountability, Celebrate Recovery will add another level of structure to the Mission's strategy for helping residents. "The program calls for us to go through weeks of prayer, determining goals, and going through the program ourselves before we can begin conducting it with residents," Claudia says. "But we are well into that process, and expect to be working with residents sometime in the fall."
