Recovery Sunday Celebration 


 

Sunday, April 19 at 3 p.m.

Celebrant:  The Rt. Rev. George Councell


Bishop of the Diocese of New Jersey


 

Preacher:  The Rt. Rev. Mark Hollingsworth, Jr.


Bishop of the Diocese of Ohio


 

Bishop Hollingsworth is a true renaissance man whose hobbies and interests
include music, antique car restoration and ice hockey (he plays goalie).
Many of us were privileged to meet him as he offered himself to our own
Episcopal search process in 2003.  At that time he shared, "Perhaps my most
significant spiritual experience has been 17 years of recovery as an
alcoholic,,,Sobriety has been a vehicle through which God has taught me how
little of life is within my power to control, how great is my responsibility
for that which is, and how the rest I must surrender in trust to God.  It's
a learning that has yet to let me down."  After more than two decades in
recovery, Bishop Hollingsworth has a most compelling message of hope and new
life to share.

 

All are welcome:

recovering alcoholics, addicts,

family members, friends & advocates.

 


Share the good news with AA, NA, Alanon, Alateen


and all the 12-step groups that meet in our congregations.

 

Come and be blessed.
