Our Corps (church) launched the "Forty Days of Purpose" on Sunday 7th August 2005. This was followed by the establishment of Cell groups on 19th August. We have continued since then meeting every Friday morning at our home. Eight years have gone by, some members left us after a while, new ones have come to join us. Today our average attendance is 12. We have been much blessed in hosting this group.
Currently we are using the Book "The Bible Jesus Read" by Philip Yancy. We have shown the video and are in the midst of doing Session 1.
We normally begin at 10.00 a.m. We have our coffee or tea, plus biscuits, cakes etc whatever is available. Yesterday being Autumn or Moon Cake festival, we had moon cakes. Nowadays we have all kinds of moon cakes - yam moon cakes, chocolate moon cakes, durian moon cakes etc. And they came in elaborate boxes, no wonder the price is so high these days. We are paying for the beautiful boxes or packaging which sadly are consigned to the dustbin once the cakes are eaten.
We celebrate the birthdays of the members. If the pastor is around, we invite her to come and pray a prayer.
Then we move from the dining table to the lounge and continue our fellowship and study of the word and prayer. We end our fellowship at about 11.30 a.m. sometimes later if the members choose to stay longer.
Every now and again we go out for lunch together.
Small groups are important to every church. We encourage each other in the faith.
"Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love. The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above."
