drussell52 -> feedback wanted promoting topical study (7/8/2008 12:00:40 PM)

I am looking for comments on how to best proceed with the following. For several months I have been writing a column in our church newsletter to acquaint readers with a Hebrew word or concept to enlarge and or enrich our faith, using a lexicon, or commentary words at ancient-hebrew.org as info. Well, this fall I am interested to being an introductory study locally using a prepared workbook to further explore this subject. Our pastor advised me to market this outside the congregation so am using the newsletter column, and contacted the pastor of another church who agreed to "advertize" the study. We will meet twice a month, there are 12 lessons to cover which will mostly be done on one's own time, and the group serves to discuss and talk about people's reactions to what they are reading. I have, up to now, asked interested persons to contact me via email, or talk to me after service, 1 has. If I want to involve outsiders, should I try to go to their church service and make an announcement, advertize in a weekly community shopper newspaper, or what? The subject is Introduction to Hebrew Heritage using a scaled down version of the textbook Our Father Abraham by Wilson. I did a group on Abraham last year, it ran a little to long, 6 months, lost half the group to other things in that time. As stated, feedback on how to promote this would be desired and appreciated as well as your prayers. Doctrinally this may be a bit controvertial, but sometimes truth seen at an extreme gets people thinking about their faith expression, and that has been made clear in my column from the start. That may be why only 1 has shown interest, mere congecture. Thanks in advance, look forward to your thoughts!
