Announcement: The R2 Convention for 2021 will be held in San Diego! Rozanne’s Prayer (OA's Founder) I put my hand in yours, and together we can do what we could never do alone. No longer is there a sense of hopelessness, no longer must we each depend upon our own unsteady willpower. We are all together now, reaching out our hands for power and strength greater than ours, And as we join hands, we find love and understanding... Beyond our wildest dreams! |
Monthly Inspiration
Slogan for the month: Let go and let God. (The slogans have been called the handrails of the steps.) Step of the month - Step 3: Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him. Prayer for the month: God I offer myself to thee, to build with me and do with me as thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self that I may better do thy will. Take away my difficulties that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of thy power, thy love, and thy way of life. May I do thy will always. HELP! Spread the Message!

To receive important information to help your meeting thrive:
We need every meeting to identify a contact person, who will receive Intergroup correspondence and share it with their group members. NOTE: Whenever the group contact person changes, the group needs to notify the intergroup by email: oa.inlandempire.email@gmail.com, providing the name, phone number, email address, and snail mail address of the new contact. Also, anyone can be added to our email lists simply by requesting to be added via the same above email address. However, in addition, each group needs a specific designated representative. We send out these communications to keep all groups and individuals informed about what’s going on in the Intergroup. Some examples of our regular communications are the Lifeboat, upcoming workshops and marathon meetings, and Intergroup meeting information to help all groups. | ||||
