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!
SUNDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY – “THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS” BY C.S. LEWIS
Join us on Sunday mornings between worship services for our next Bible study, The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. The study will begin on Sunday, January 25 at 10:00 AM and we will meet in Fellowship Hall. No need to RSVP…just come and enjoy a good conversation over this sometimes hard-to-read classic. Books are available anywhere you shop for books. Purchase of the book is not required but would be helpful.
STUDY FOR THE WELL – “RUTHLESS ELIMINATION OF HURRY”
Our study for the spring session of THE WELL will be John Mark Comer’s “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry.” The study will begin on Wednesday, January 21 at 6:30 PM and we will meet upstairs in Heritage Hall. No need to RSVP…just join in a great discussion on how to combat the epidemic of “hurry sickness” that overruns our lives today. Books are available anywhere you shop for books. Purchase of the book is not required but would be helpful.
Men's Group Study- “PATIENT URGENCY” BY REV. DR. MICHAEL ZEIGLER
Your Faith: Patient Urgency” by the Rev. Dr. Michael Zeigler. Our men’s study meets at 3:30 PM on Tuesday afternoons in the Fellowship Hall. This study will run for about 6 weeks. No RSVP is needed, but if you have questions, please contact Tom Scott at thom929as@hotmail.com or Bill Rehrig at william.rehrig@yahoo.com.
ZOOM BIBLE STUDY ON GALATIANS TO BEGIN JANUARY 19
The Next ZOOM Bible Study will begin on Monday, January 19. We will study Paul’s Letter to the church in Galatia. Galatians addresses the early Christian communities in Galatia, emphasizing salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Paul defends his apostolic authority, warns against false teachings, and underscores the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in leading a life of freedom and grace. This is a study which in will examine our salvation, discerning false teachings, and emphasizing the importance of the Holy Spirit. Each class is a stand-alone session, so if you must miss a session or two, this study will still be comprehensive for you. Email Bill Rehrig at William.rehrig@yahoo.com to register.
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.
Next Meeting: Trinity’s Goodtimers group will meet on TBD. All are welcome to join them. Please RSVP to Rick and Brenda Covert at 443-858-9004 or 443-859-2993 by September 21.
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.
