WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDIES

For most of the year, we offer a weekly bible study for women on Thursday mornings from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. The study is for women ages 18 and up and is open to the public. Fore more information about an upcoming study contact Jan McMillen, (Email) jmcmillen@trinityjoppa.org.

​ALL THINGS NEW
The city of ancient Corinth was much like our own modern-day cities: a melting pot of electrifying cultural experiences to be had, along with the myriad pitfalls of spiritual depravity. Still, Paul wrote to the church of God in Corinth. Meaning God’s church is meant to thrive in any city and every circumstance in which we find ourselves. Paul’s letter is as timely as ever.

Over 8 sessions, Kelly Minter will lead you through the Letter of 2 Corinthians, exploring the anchoring truths of bearing treasures in jars of clay, meeting Christ through a pressing thorn, opening wide your heart in the midst of hurtful relationships, and what it means to embrace the lost and lonely as ministers of the new covenant. Each of us has a message to proclaim and live by: Because of Jesus the old has gone, the new has come.

​Childcare to age 5 is available upon request with advanced notification. Register online today! Send an 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.

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, September 9, 9:30-10:30 AM.
