 HELP NEEDED !!! -- YOUNG LADIES RETREAT

Women’s Ministry is currently looking for some young ladies and some mature ladies to help with our upcoming Young Ladies Retreat. We need ladies who are good with organizing, completing crafty projects, have musical talent and those willing to share their stories.

This is a great opportunity for our young ladies to gain experience in planning and leading a really awesome event. If you are 13 years old or older and would like to help organize and plan this event, contact Jan McMillen at (Phone) 410-679-4000 ext. 129 or (Email) jmcmillen@trinityjoppa.org.

WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDIES

 For most of the year, we offer two weekly bible studies for women. One is held on Thursday mornings from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM, and the other is held on Thursday evenings from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM. Both studies are for women of all ages and are open to the public. Fore more information about one of our studies contact Jan McMillen, (Email) jmcmillen@trinityjoppa.org.

LORD, CHANGE MY ATTITIDE
Join us for our latest Thursday morning Women's study, LORD, CHANGE MY ATTITUDE(by James MacDonald), May 18 through July 20, 2017. Change your attitude, change your life.  We’re very good at explaining why we’re unhappy: bad job, bad relationships, bad luck. But there’s probably a better reason: bad attitudes. In LORD, CHANGE MY ATTITIDE, James MacDonald shows us just how much our attitudes affect our lives. One of his bestsellers, this book is classic James: It’s clear, it’s inspiring, and it packs a punch. Drawing from the experience of the Israelites who grumbled through the wilderness, MacDonald shows how bad attitudes rob us of joy. Coveting, complaining, and being critical are not what our hearts were made for. They were made for thankfulness, contentment, and love. Is your heart straining under the weight of a bad attitude? Register online today! Send and email to Jan McMillen, (Email) jmcmillen@trinityjoppa.org, for questions about this study.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING SUPPORT MINISTRY

Women's Ministry recently kicked-off its Human Trafficking Support Ministry. Contact Jan McMillen for more information at (Email) jmcmillen@trinityjoppa.org or (Phone) 410-679-4000 ext.129.

​MINISTRY UPATE
​In December, TLC sponsored nine residents of The Samaritan Women’s (TSW) program for Christmas.  This was the first time some of these ladies ever received Christmas presents.

Currently, Carmela Gorub is working with TSW planning a spring “Spa Day” for the residents.  This day will include a hair cut, mini-manicure and a hand massage. We are looking for interested people to be part of our team. This group will meet and offer ideas for our next fundraiser to benefit women rescued from human trafficking, and how to educate our communities about this horrible problem. 
​
We would also like to sponsor a “Work Day” to go and help with garden work and maybe some minor outside repairs.  If you are interested or have questions, contact Jan McMillen at (Email) jmcmillen@trinityjoppa.org or  (Phone) 410-679-4000, ext. 129. Men are welcome to participate on the team and with outside activities

GIRL'S NIGHT/DAY OUT

Girls' Night/Day Out events are relaxed events where women can come and just have fun together. Events are held several times throughout the year and we welcome women of all ages. You do not have to be a church member to attend these fun fellowship events. For additional information about one of our upcoming Girls' Night/Day Out events contact Mary Rose at (Email) mrose211@comcast.net  or  Debbie Joyner at (Email) deborah.joyner@ngc.com.

ANNUAL POOL PARTY & PICNIC
Ladies, get your planners out and reserve Saturday, July 15, at 1:00 PM for our  Annual Picnic and Pool Party at the Joyner home. This is a great time to grab your ”bestie” and join other women  for some fun and relaxation.  Food, desserts, games, swimming, time to relax and meet new friends are all part of the day.  Participate as much or as little as you want. 

For more information contact  Mary Rose, (Email) mrose211@comcast.com, Debbie Joyner, (Email) Deborah.joyner@ngc.com,  or Jan McMillen , (Email)  jmcmillen@trinityjoppa.org or (Phone) 410-679-4000 ext. 129.

WOMEN'S RETREATS

Retreats are times of renewal, learning and exploration. They also invite and challenge us to honor, respect and learn from others’ journeys as well as our own. We will laugh our heads off, make new friends, and enjoy old friends. It’s something you don’t want to miss!

FUNDRAISERS

All Women’s Ministry activities are supported by fundraising, rather than being supported by weekly offerings to the church. Our two major fundraisers, the Gift Basket Fun Night and the Easter Egg Project, allow us to support many activities in our church and the local community, including Vacation Bible School, Youth and Arctic mission trips, scholarships for high school seniors and Sidewalk Sunday School.

LIT 'N' LATTES BOOK CLUB

Come join us one Saturday each month as we gather and have stimulating discussions about books of our own choosing. Book selections may be classics, current bestsellers, or just ones that pique our curiosities. Books are selected and announced at the end of each meeting! For more information about our Lit 'n' Lattes Book Club, please send contact Robin Jones at (Email) rmj429@yahoo.com.

UPCOMING CLUB DATE
Our next Lit 'n' Lattes Book Club will be held Saturday, June 3rd, 9:30-10:30 AM.
