In my church, like most churches, there are people who have no time for small groups. They particularly want to be a part of a Bible study, but are unable to attend Sunday School or share in any of the other study options of the congregation. As such they miss the opportunity to engage in an inductive of God's Word and share the thoughts and applications gleaned by others.
So we created Bibical Joy, an on-line small group Bible study. Since part of the difficulty is a "common time," the on-line comes via a blog. People "join in" at an hour convenient to them--study the text, respond to the questions, and then share thoughts and answers with others in the group via the "comments/reply" feature available on a blog. Currently there are 12 persons subscribed (which means identified) as part of the group.
You might want to check out what we do at BIBLICAL JOY as an idea starter for your context -- or just might want to be a new member of this group itself. You are certainly welcome. By the way, we are in Philippians at this time. - Steve
