Bible
Studies

We have  a number of Bible studies and classes going on throughout the year at Trinity. Take a look at the list below to find one or more you would like to join and contact us with any questions about how to get started! 

Bible Studies

Men's Group Study- "The Book of James"

Our Tuesday evening men’s bible study group is beginning a new study on the book of James. This study summarizes the main themes in James of temptation and spiritual maturity, controlling the tongue, patience in prayer, and faith in action. You will learn the responses that lead to maturity, and the spiritual benefits of perseverance. Contact Bible study leader Bill Schafer for more information at jonah2_2@comcast.net

Women's Group Study-  The Book of Esther

Our Thursday morning women’s bible study group is beginning a new study on the book of Esther. This study by Kelly Minter is available on Amazon. All are welcome to join us for our Thursday morning study from 9:30 to 11:30 AM in the coffee area of Fellowship Hall. If you have any questions, contact Irene Jenkins at irjenk@comcast.net

Wednesday Morning Bible Study- Leviticus and Deuteronomy

Trinity Bible study teacher, Mary Lou Roberts, leads a Wednesday morning Bible study from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM.  Her winter/spring class will be studying the Old Testament books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy.  The material used for this class was written by author John MacArthur. 
MacArthur is a prolific author, speaker and teacher who has written nearly 400 books and studies.  Classes will begin on Wednesday, February 5.  All are welcome to join.  Contact Mary Lou Roberts for more information at robertsmarylou907@gmail.com

Sunday Morning Bible Study- His Last Words- What Jesus Taught and Prayed in His Final Hours 

Sundays at 10:10 AM, March 9 through June 22. Chapters 13-17 of the Gospel of John record some of Jesus’ final days on earth. These chapters tell of Jesus’ precious time alone with His disciples just before he died. Jesus' message in John 13–17 is to call his followers to serve one another and thrive as he fulfills his purpose for the world. These chapters reveal what was most important to Him. This study will run through June 22.

Small
Groups

Bible study small groups are groups of approximately three to six people that gather to participate in a bible study (whether it's a church-wide study or one that your group picks).  Groups meet in someone's home or at church at a time that's convenient for the members of that particular group.  It's a great way to make friends, get closer to folks here at Trinity, and get support when going through hard times. Groups meet on different days of the week, depending on the schedules of the members.  Some groups are meeting at church or in homes while others meet virtually.  Let's find one that works for you and your preferences.  To get connected to a Bible Study small group, please contact us!

Goodtimers Group 
Our Goodtimers Group (Men and Women 60+) meets the fourth Sunday of the month for fellowship and a great
lunch.  If interested, please contact Lori Hinman at 410-679-4000, x113 or email lhinman@trinityjoppa.org.

Quilters Group
Are you looking for something to do that will connect you to others in our congregation?  Our Quilters Group makes hundreds of quilts and donates them to charities all over the world (and in our own backyard) to keep those less fortunate warm.  You don’t need to have quilting or sewing experience to join this group.  Their quilting process is something that you can “learn as you go.”  This group meets every other Monday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Heritage Hall.  If you would like to join their group, please reach out to us!

Hook, Yarn & Stitchers Group 
Our Hook, Yarn & Stitchers Group members work independently on projects for the church and meet together periodically.  We are currently making blankets for baptismal families, prayer shawls and lap blankets.  If you would like to help with making needed items, please contact Marty Carlon at mcarlon770@comcast.net
