Young people's ministry at Christ Church

Cell life is a community where we try to support each other in becoming more like Jesus in our everyday lives. We have young people and adults in our community and we all support each other. We believe that God is calling us to this 24/7 lifestyle and in order to help us we have 6 values to follow.

You can also download a bookmark with our values on, to help serve as a daily reminder.

We want these values to run through everything that we do, whether as individuals or as a group. We also believe that we all have gifts and skills whether it's serving, leading or prophecy or any other gift and that we can use them whatever our age and we want to use these in the life of our church. We believe that God is asking us to help other people get to know him - so to not only be the people that he made us to be but to help others to do this as well.

To help us support each other we have a number of ways to link up with others. We have monthly celebrations where we can all come together and worship God. At this we run a café which is suitable for people to bring their friends along to. We have regular prayer meetings at 4:15pm on a Monday during term time. We meet up with each other and with our cell pastors for hot chocolate and chat. We meet socially at various points during the week at small groups or as the whole group. We talk to each other and communicate via e-mail, Facebook, MSN and all sorts of other ways. We meet up with prayer partners or just to help each other though difficult times. We get together for meals such as breakfast or pizza. We sometimes visit other churches such as Soul Survivor in Watford. We are also all attached to a small group who meet on a weekly basis.

Your Cell Life group

This small group are also there to support each other and your cell pastor is the person to talk to about anything!

What about Sunday Mornings?

We know that many of you are not up for sitting through a morning service in church yet you have to come with your family. Although we would encourage you to come along and give the services a go (they are good sometimes!!), there are also other ways in which you can meet with God at 11:00am on a Sunday and it would be great to have you involved.

1st Sunday of the month

Every other month we have a whole church breakfast. This is where we serve bacon sandwiches and healthier options to anyone who wants to come and eat together. The team is made up of young people and adults. The breakfast is from 10:00 till 10:45 but the team arrive at 9:15 to set up and start cooking and then we stay afterwards to eat up all the left-over's and clear up.

On the alternative month there is a prayer meeting for you to pray for any issues that you want to.

2nd Sunday of the month

This is LoveWareLiveWare Sunday. A group of young people and adults go out to serve their community. We do a range of different things that benefit the people who live in Ware. This will depend on the time of year and could include washing cars, clearing ice from pavements, washing windscreens, playing football or anything else that is useful. If you have any suggestions about things that could be done please talk to Alison Jackson.

3rd Sunday of the month

Breakfast at home - but not your home! This week a kind volunteer from the church family will host breakfast just for the young people! This is a great opportunity to get to know other people in the church as well as nose around someone else's kitchen!

4th (and sometimes 5th) Sunday of the month

This is where you get to serve in a specific Sunday ministry of the church.

You could offer to help with crèche, get involved with leading some of Children's church, do a reading in church, do the refreshments, get involved in talks or worship, learn how to operate the sound and visual system or anything else that you can think of! You will need to have a conversation with Louise or your cell pastor about the area you would like to help in so that we can link you up with the right people.

If you would like to help every Sunday in this way you are very welcome!
