NEWSLETTER · JUNE 2026

### **A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR**

Friends in Christ,

There are seasons when a ministry mostly prays and prepares, and seasons when doors open. This is one of the latter. I’m grateful to share three pieces of news with you: a new weekly meeting we’ve long wanted to offer, an invitation to serve alongside us, and a new article for the pastors who carry so much on behalf of the people they love.

### **A NEW MEETING**

#### **Saturday Mornings at Montachusett Recovery Center**

Beginning **Saturday, June 20**, Mark Twelve will host a new weekly recovery meeting in Leominster. It’s a Christian twelve-step meeting grounded in the *Life Recovery Bible,* a place to work the steps honestly while keeping Christ at the center.

| **What** | Christian Twelve-Step Recovery Meeting (Life Recovery Bible) |
| --- | --- |
| **When** | Saturdays, 9:00–10:30 a.m. — starting June 20, 2026 |
| **Where** | Montachusett Recovery Center (MRC) 106 Carter Street, Leominster, MA |

This meeting is open to anyone seeking recovery in a faith-centered setting, whether you’re days into the journey or years along it. Bring a friend. All are welcome.

### **AN INVITATION TO SERVE**

#### **Volunteers Needed: A Recovery Bible Study**

A local treatment center recently approached **The Life Church of Massachusetts** about bringing a recovery Bible study to the people in its care. Mark Twelve has been asked to take point, and we’re honored to lead it.

We’re now looking for a small team of volunteers to walk alongside us, preferably church members with personal experience in recovery and a heart to serve others who are still finding their footing. If God has carried you through your own valley, that lived experience is exactly the gift this study needs.

### Volunteer Form

 

### **FROM THE BLOG**

#### **The Pastor’s Dilemma: Where Do You Send Someone Struggling with Addiction?**

Most pastors will sit with someone in crisis this month. Far fewer have a credentialed, faith-aligned referral they trust completely to hand that person to. Our newest article names that gap honestly and offers a short, practical checklist for evaluating a referral you can stand behind: real credentials, integrated faith, an honest answer on cost, and confidentiality you can vouch for.

It’s written for every pastor who has carried that worry without a good place to put it, and for the families praying late at night for someone they love.

However you’re connected to this work, whether praying, serving, giving, or walking your own road of recovery, thank you for being part of it.

*“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.” — Mark 12:30*

Grace and peace,

**Kevin D. Flynn, RCP**
