There are two courses
available here.
(i) The Three Loves Course:
(1) Love God – hence we will do the course on SPIRITUAL
DISCIPLINES
(2) Love Others – Hence we will do the course on KINGDOM
RELATIONSHIPS
(3) Love Ourselves – Hence we will do the course on THE
OVERCOMING LIFE
(ii) Priesthood of All Believers
Course:
Looking at aspects of us as
priests, al having a function in the Church.
Each week you’ll get two
sheets (the first will be one side and the second may be one or two sides).
(i)
The first sheet will be
for the CELL LEADER who will pass it to the ‘facilitator’ for that week. This
is the leader’s overall guideline for each meeting.
(ii)
The second sheet is to
be given to ALL CELL MEMBERS on the night itself and to the facilitator a week
in advance for them to prepare.
The leader must start by
reading the Leader’s sheet and familiarizing themselves with it. They will then
delegate (it could to to themselves!)…
(a) Who will lead the Icebreaker (the Leader should
always open the meeting and welcome everyone before handing over the time).
This person should know the details for the Icebreaker and the time limit and
stick with those details.
(b) Who will lead worship – let them know the theme and
the possible songs to use plus the time limit.
(c) Who will be the ‘facilitator’ (Word Section) – they
should be briefed as to the role of a facilitator (i.e. To facilitate
discussion and involvement of all and lead into practical outworking according
to the topic). The ‘facilitator’ will need a copy of both sheets and read the WORD
SECTION on the leader’s sheet plus familiarize themselves with the second
sheet for the discussion time. They should go step by step through the material
with the cell group and not deviate much from it. They must pace themselves and
keep within the time limit.
(d) Who will be the prayer leader for the WORKS
SECTION. Brief them on the main prayer items and let them know the time
limit. The leader should introduce and close off this section.0
(e) Who will prepare food & drinks – delegate also
someone to pray for the refreshments.
It is recommended that one
meeting every month be a Cell Group activity time. This may be going our
together for a fun time or ministering as a group at an old people’s home or
doing visitation together, going on a Prayer Walk or one of many other creative
ideas. Pray about what this time can be effectively use for.
Happy Cell Grouping!
