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 Group Study- "The Book of Galations"
Join our men's Bible study group on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 PM as they work through a Warren Wiersbe study on the book of Galatians. Galatians carries a dangerous message. It's propelled by a radical idea that continues to challenge man-made beliefs and principles: The Christian religion is not about religion at all. It's about a relationship restored, and living by love, not legalism. In this study of the book of Galatians, we find Paul's battle cry for the true gospel and encounter the freedom found in placing our faith in Christ alone. Contact Bible study leader Bill Schafer for more information at jonah2_2@comcast.net.
Women's Group Study- “The Gospel of John: Savoring the Peace of Jesus in a Chaotic World”
The Thursday Morning Women’s Bible Study group meets on Thursday mornings, from 9:30 to 11:30 AM. Their current study is “The Gospel of John: Savoring the Peace of Jesus in a Chaotic World” by Melissa Spoelstra. Spoelstra is a popular women’s conference speaker, Bible teacher and writer. We welcome all women of Trinity to join us. 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.
Wednesday Evening Bible Study- “FINDING JESUS IN THE PSALMS: A LENTEN JOURNEY”
Wednesdays at 6:30 PM, March 12 and 26, April 9 and 30, May 7 and 14. This study moves through the familiar words of Psalm 23 toward the painful cries of Psalm 22 uttered by Jesus on the cross. The study includes reflections on the life of King David and the original context of the writings, along with connections between the psalms and the life and death of Jesus the Messiah.
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. Begins on Sunday, March 9 and runs through Sunday, J
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 55+) 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
