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!
Men's Bible Study: The Titus Ten
Tucked away near the end of the New Testament, you’ll find Paul’s letter to Titus. Scripture provides few details about Titus. But from this 46-verse letter, author Josh Smith has distilled ten foundations upon which to build godly men. In these ten small group studies, author Josh Smith will help you mature into the man God designed you to be as you lead in your home, church, and the world. These studies will root your identity in Christ, define and teach you how to exercise godly dominion, and bolster the foundation of your essential beliefs so that you can confidently stand for the truth in a wayward culture. Our Men’s Bible study meets on Tuesday evenings at 6:00 PM. If you would like more info, contact Bill Rehrig at william.rehrig@yahoo.com or Tom Scott at tho929mas@hotmail.com.
Women's Bible Study
Join us for our women’s Bible study on Thursday mornings at 9:30 AM in the summer. The study will be “The Names of God” by Tony Evans. For more information, contact Irene Jenkins at irjenk@comcast.net.
To fully grasp the significance and power of knowing God's names, you first need to understand the context of names within biblical cultures. In Old Testament times, a name was more than simply nomenclature. It was, rather, a replica and revelation of the individual or thing itself. This study examines eleven names of God. The words translated as name show up over one thousand times in Scripture and routinely carry with them power, responsibility, purpose, and authority. A name not only expresses the essence and significance of what is being named but also-when duly authorized-accesses the capacity intrinsic within it. Get to know the names of God because it is in knowing His character and His capacity that you will rest and discover both peace and power in His covenant care.
Summer Bible Study- The Flawed and The Flawless By Tim Keller
For the summer months, our Bible study is “Judges: The Flawed and the Flawless” by author, theologian, and church planter of over 380 churches worldwide, Tim Keller. We will be holding our study both on Sundays from July 19 through August 23; and on Wednesdays from July 15 through August 19. This study will take you through the twists and turns of the dark, difficult period of history detailed in the book of Judges, and bring you face to face with famous names such as Deborah, Gideon and Samson - and with God himself. The book of Judges reveals to us the God of mercy and long-suffering, who rescues his people time and again and it points us to his greatest rescue, through Jesus Christ. Because we too are surrounded by the gods of wealth, celebrity, ideology and achievement, this book is for all of us.
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. For more information, contact Rick or Brenda Covert at 443-858-9004 or 443-859-2993
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.” From September through May, this group meets every Monday from 9am to 12 in Heritage Hall. During June through August, the group meets on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month.
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
Monthly Homeless Shelter Serve
The Harford Family House Homeless Shelter in Belcamp (formerly FCCAU Shelter) provides a loving service to those in our community who are in need of kindness and a meal. Helping is easy and we are certain that you will enjoy the
experience. It is gratifying to serve people who are going through this transition time. The residents at the shelter are screened by social services and are allowed to stay there for six months. During that time, shelter staff help them with employment, ID services, apartment services, and getting connected to get a place on their own. Trinity has served at the Shelter for over 20 years. On the 15th of every month, three volunteers are needed to arrive at the shelter at 4:30 PM to make and serve jambalaya for the shelter residents. It is a box mix and we add shrimp and sausage. We serve it buffet style with pitchers of drinks. We make the same meal every month as other churches are making their same meal on their scheduled day of the month. We clean up as they eat and you are welcome to visit with guests if you choose. We need to add nine people to our volunteer roster for this outreach. Please contact Terri Reardon at 410-652-4655 or treardon@trinityjoppa.org, or contact Stephanie Potler at 410-979-4930.
