NEW STEP GROUP – Starting in May
Our founder, Jorge, will be leading his seventh step study group starting in May.
The group lasts for about 12 to 18 months and you will go through all the steps including the pre-step and post-step work in the Castimonia book.
They will meet every week on Saturday mornings from 8:00am to 9:55am before the 10am Saturday Castimonia meeting in Katy. There is no cost to join the group but you must purchase a copy of the Castimonia book, 2nd edition. Out of town guests will be able to use Zoom to join the group if they cannot attend in person. Houston-area members will need to attend in person.
This group takes a strong, long term commitment and is great for those ready to work the steps and have the Lord change their lives.
Please have any interested individuals contact Jorge at jorge@castimonia.org.
Biblical Naps

Jesus took naps.
“Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion” (Mark 4:38).
Our Lord clearly believed in rest. While a storm was tossing the very boat he was in, he responded with a yawn and a power nap. He didn’t sleep long, but he did sleep.
Power naps can play an essential role in your recovery.
Dr. Gurevich, with Cleveland Clinic, says an effective power nap should be between 20 and 30 minutes long. He cites several benefits of short naps. They include improvements in:
- Mood
- Alertness
- Reaction time
- Short-term memory
- Focus and concentration
A 2020 study by NASA found that a 26-minute nap increases productivity by 34 percent.
Do you need a boost in your recovery? Then try this. Take a power nap once in a while. It’s called self-care. And science says it works.
Recovery Step: Take a short power nap today.
