We have been posting our women's Bible study on the North Shore Women's group on Meetup.com for about eight months and we are routinely seeing six to seven for visitors every Bible Talk. No one has become a Christian from that effort yet but we are and have studied the Bible with several people who have come through meetup. We host a simple crock-pot meal before the study every time to make it easier for people to get there after work without getting sidetracked and enjoy great fellowship. Most of the visitors show up for the meal!
Sometimes we edit the post and let people know what specific passages we'll be looking at so they can read up or just be aware.
Sample posting from this summer:
Women's Bible Discussion Group (and Dinner)
Please join us for a Summer Bible Discussion Series"Encounters with Jesus"
Jesus had some amazing and thought-provoking encounters with people in the Bible.
Join us as we take a look at some of these encounters and learn how they apply to us today.
