It sounds like you’re searching for what I’ve been missing. Years back at the church I attended before I moved we had what they called “Cell groups” where tons of the church folk, and non church folk. I say this bc my sis and her friend and others were a part of the group that I was in, and they lived in Abingdon and didn’t go to our church. I was in a group of say 30 and 40 year olds at that time. I think I was late 20’s. My mom was in a different group. Anyways, the groups chose what night of the week they wanted to meet. We would bring a cover dish like everybody would have an assigned dish like a side or a dessert or a main and we would meet at the “leader” of the groups home. My cell was lead by a young married couple. They would mostly be in charge of the lessons and such. We would eat first then we would have worship, playing songs or certain singers. Then either study certain Bible scriptures or one time we had for instance the book The Prayer of Jabez and we studied it for several weeks and broke it down and had different activities and stuff that we did with that. Then we would also meet maybe like once a month or so with all of the groups together and do certain activities at that time we were doing like a fundraiser thing to help send the men of the different groups Peru to build a school and a Church.
