For those who have become addicted to alcohol, drugs, pornography, sex or food to endure the pain of prior sexual, physical, or verbal abuse, this is good news indeed!

That's why pastors and addiction recovery professionals teamed up to start a concerted effort to help churches spearhead a Christ-centered solution for the growing addiction epidemic in this country.

- Union of Welsh Independents (UWI) will be observing the ninth “Recovery Sunday” on 25 Oct, a day set aside to encourage churches to think about those suffering from various addictions, to learn more about their situation, their needs and the help offered by centres such as the Living Room, CAIS and Adferiad Recovery.
A service has been prepared by Elin Maher based on meditation on our surroundings and how we can be used in this world - attached as a PDF.
