Meet the Still Cell Group
Are you looking for a cell group on the west side of Salisbury? Let me introduce you to Matt and Breta Still. Their group meets in their home on Tuesday evenings at 7:00 pm. Their address is 6361 Crockett Lane, Salisbury 21801. Matt can be reached through e-mail at matthewstill@bayardsalescorp.com or by phone at (410) 912-0148.

This group was originally started by Pastor Bill Warren in January of 2007 and in March, Bill approached Matt and asked if he would become his apprentice leader. Matt say’s he would have never dreamed of himself as a cell leader a few years back. But in May 2007 Matt took over the leadership of the group as Pastor Warren birthed a new group out of this existing group. Matt and Breta have a heart for people and have the gift of hospitality.

This group really knows how to worship and pray together. They have really touched many lives since their beginning. Recently Matt’s daughter gave her heart to the Lord and is now a member of this loving, caring group. They really desire to grow and would love to have you come experience God’s presence with them.

Matt is a great encourager and truly models faithfulness and passion for the cell vision that God has given us at Allen.

God is Amazing!

CELL BLOCK PARTY
Cell Block Party? No, it’s not what you think. This was not held at the local correctional institution. It was held in Fruitland last weekend in the back yard of Kip and Sharon Powers’ house. I don’t know who came up with the idea but what an idea it was. Four Fruitland cell groups as well as our new Delmar group, decided to work together for our June Connection Week event. All our cell groups hold monthly parties for the purpose of connecting with those who attend our services who are not in cells as well as connecting with neighbors, friends, co-workers, who we’d like to influence for Christ. What a great time we had together as sixty two people filled the yard despite the heat.

What is most amazing is that if these cell groups would have held this party together last year, we only numbered about 30 people. This shows you what God is doing in our cell groups as the number is now doubled. If you have not connected with a cell group please stop by the Neighborhood Life booth (Neighborhood Mural) to pick up a current listing of groups or see our web page http://www.allenmemorial.org/ for more information. As Cell pastor I would love to help you get connected as well, and can be reached on my cell phone at (443) 880-1716.
