Big Book Workshop – Back to Basics Summer Session 1 2019
2019-07-11 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Rocky River Presbyterian Church, 21750 Detroit Rd, Rocky River, OH, 44116, United States
Before there were meeting schedules, the AA pioneers helped newcomers through the Steps as quickly as possible so they could begin to help others. We follow the path of the early days of AA and actually work all of the Twelve Steps over the course of four weeks.
Readings are directly from the Big Book and we will be listening to a powerful audio presentation by Paul F. who facilitates a series of Back to Basics meetings.
Back to Basics sessions have been held continuously on the west side of Cleveland, every quarter, since January 2008. Quarterly sessions are held in January, April, July and October of each year, usually beginning on the first Thursday of each month and continuing the following 3 Thursdays.
All are welcome!
