We hold a cell group at our home every Friday morning. We meet regularly every week for prayer, fellowship and study of the word. We normally begin with coffee or tea and some simple refreshments. Every now and then we would invite them to stay back for lunch, or go out as a group to have lunch somewhere.
On our 55th wedding anniversary, twelve of us went to North Border at Rochester Park to have our lunch of Texan American delights! This was to celebrate our Emerald Anniversary. We enjoyed the lovely meal and wonderful fellowship.
We've been blest by this group of like minded folk. We always begin with prayer. We believe we are in the presence of God, we cannot get out of His presence for He is omnipresent, but what we ask for is that we should be aware of His presence.
All are encouraged to express their opinion, even if that opinion is not shared by others. We learn to give each other a hearing. There is never any impatience, no one is ever made to feel he is a time waster. We all are prepared to listen to each other. There are times when we have to admit we are wrong after we have heard others speak.
We encourage each other. There is nothing in this world which will bring out the best in us as encouragement. To have that feeling that your group is with you, there are others value you lifts you up.
There is more than enough criticism in our society, let's encourage each other instead. And that's what we do in our cell group. We build each other up. Yes, we set aside every Friday for our cell group and it has been very rewarding, like we set aside every Tuesday for Peacehaven Nursing Home. We've been really blest by our brothers and sisters in Christ. God has blessed us mightily, let us share blessings with others.
