Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Come to a Friday 7 pm gathering in the Ben Franklin Room, Houston Hall, or email the club to ask about the next one.
You can just show up.
What to expect
You join a Friday evening Bible study and fellowship time in a room in Houston Hall on Penn's campus, with food as part of the gathering. The site welcomes visitors but does not list a cost, a sign-up step, or how long the evening runs.
Tips for your first visit
- Houston Hall is on Penn's campus, so leave time to find the Ben Franklin Room.
- Check the group's Instagram before you go in case the Friday plan has changed.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The group's own site says visitors are welcome on Friday nights and gives a fixed room and time, but it does not describe a newcomer program or any sign-up step..
