The strength of a church cannot be measured by the number of people attending the Sunday morning meeting, although it is a good sign when the congregation grows. The true effectiveness of a Corps or Church is to be seen by the people who are actively engaged in witness for the Lord during the week. The services and teaching of the church should aim at the building of relationships. Those who attend church on a Sunday become active participants in propagating the gospel in the community. They become encouragers of others in our pilgrim journey from earth to heaven. We all as fellow travellers along the road of life need mutual support, encouragement and inspiration.
Members of a cell group are friends who care for each other and pray for each other.
We hold a cell group at our home every Friday at 10.00 a.m. Most are retirees, but others are welcome. We always enjoy the time spent together every week. It is time well spent.
The early church ‘devoted themselves to the Apostles teaching, and to fellowship, the breaking of bread and prayer.’ Acts 2: 42
Some thoughts on Friendship.
"If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you" Winnie the Pooh
"True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost." Charles Caleb Colton.
