Confirming this was the witness of two visitors. They had come at separate times on separate issues of church business. Several meetings about the cell church were opened to the congregation but my heart sank to see how lightly attended these were. We met again with Rev. Krueger who advised us to launch an initial prototype cell group. Soon added to the cell were, Isabel Southworth, Irene Minton, and Kimber Rau.
Twelve is the maximum number for a cell group.
Our First meeting was in September, 2000. After four months I feel I can speak on behalf every participant. Even though we have hardly begun to explore what such a group might be capable of in ministering to one another and in serving the congregation, each of us feels the incentive to push ahead. V. Commitment was the cornerstone of our weekly Monday evening meetings. We pledged ourselves to be there for one another each week.
