Sexual Purity Support & Recovery Group
This year’s Castimonia retreat filled up in record time! However, our wait list has been opened for those that were not able to sign up for the retreat. Please email info@castimonia.org to be placed on the waitlist.
If you’re part of the Castimonia family and have been thinking about attending, now is the time to make your plans. We look forward to another incredible weekend of Christ-centered recovery, fellowship, and growth.
We can’t wait to see what God has in store for this year’s retreat.
In this skit, packed with humor and depth, The Skit Guys dig into what the Serenity Prayer is all about. As one man prays the prayer, God challenges him to understand what the words actually mean, and to actually mean the words he says.
Just one more week before we open registration to the general recovery community!

There are two kinds of sufferings that are painful to the core – the suffering that comes from a life of addiction and the suffering that comes from being married to an addict. But know this – it doesn’t last forever.
Mother Teresa said, “The sufferings of this world are like a bad night in an inconvenient hotel.”
Paul added, “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us” (Romans 8:18).
Here’s an idea – create a gratitude list. Make a list of the things that are still right in your life. Include everything – your health, relationships, finances, home, family, friends, and faith. And remind yourself – the next time you get down – that your worst days will pass. They will be swallowed up in victory.
Recovery Step: For every day of suffering on earth, you will have a thousand years of celebration in heaven. Things may be hard right now. But they won’t stay that way.
I am humbled to announce that we will officially be starting a new Castimonia meeting on Wednesday nights at Frewsburg Alliance Church in Frewsburg, New York on Wednesday, September 9th! This is exactly how God’s ministry should grow. A member that attends the weekly Telemeetings and was brave enough to take it to his in-person location answering, “Lord send me!” I am very grateful for this man’s bravery and for his faithfulness to the Lord.
Wednesday Nights
7:00pm – 8:30pm
Frewsburg Alliance Church, Room 301
60 Falconer Street
Frewsburg, NY 14738
Starting on September 9, 2026
Praise be to God, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for all He has done to grow His ministry!
