Overview of the Cell Notes at Gaze on Glory

2008-05-09T21:42:00.002+01:00

The cell notes at Gaze on Glory were written for the Reading University Christian Union, tailored to their context and combined with weekly training provided by UCCF staff and relay for the CU cell leaders. The programme was devised by student leaders with UCCF staff.

Weekly training was provided in a lunchtime session each week, supplemented by a weekend away at the start of February for new leaders and by some additional training afternoons through the year. The aims being to grow student leaders in grace as they gaze upon the glory of God in his gospel in the word, being transformed by the Spirit and to be equipped them to study God's word with other students.

The pattern of studies is based on the conviction that it's good to study God's word in the way it's given - i.e. book by book. Over the course of four years we wanted to spend time in all four gospel and get a good diet from across the OT and NT.

New cell leaders took up their roles in the Spring term and it made sense to study a NT letter then since these are often the easiest to lead a study on. Competence is hopefully attained by the summer term in the more tricky OT books, and the cell leader can ably lead a group with many new students studying a gospel in the autumn.
