Northfield Methodist Church

What does it mean to belong to a cell group?

By belonging to a cell group you are ensured of having people around you who will

care for you, grow with you, share life with you, and most importantly, ensure that you have fun living life together!

There are events which as a cell you will participate in:-

• Celebrations

We
get our cells together four times a year to worship in the church and
then share a meal afterwards.  These events are usually planned around
significant dates on our calendar, e.g. Shrove Tuesday, Pentecost etc.

It
is a time for singing, sharing of testimonies and a brief message from
a minister - generally celebrating what God is doing in our midst.

•  Prayer Vigil

A
very important responsibility that our cells have is to cover the
Sunday services in prayer.  Basically this means that once every +-3
months, your cell will meet in the Prayer Room in the church on a
Sunday to pray for one of the services that is taking place.  This
seems like quite a scarey thing for many people, but it often turns out
to be a very special time that the cells enjoy.

•  Social Gatherings

Depending
on the cell you are in you will most probably also land up going on
different social outings together.  Our young adult cells do this a
lot, and the social can vary from going to a movie, playing tenpin
bowling or hiking at Suikerbosrand.
