CHRISTMASCHRISTMAS BAZAAR WAS BAZAAR WAS
A HUGE SUCCESS… A HUGE SUCCESS…
THANK YOU!THANK YOU!
Trinity Lutheran’s first Christmas Bazaar
was held on Saturday, November 26, 2016,
from 8:00 am to 2:30pm. The bazaar was a
huge success due to the tireless efforts of
Mickey Barkuloo and her committee, Karen
Torbit, Carmela Gorub, Karen O’Brien,
Debbie Pilarski, Cass Jensen, Brenda Fischer
and Patty DiPietro. Santa’s Breakfast had
two seatings for children and their families.
Yummy food, a gift, a craft and Santa along
with Mrs.Claus and Santa’s elves made it a
magical experience for all. Karen
Torbit coordinated this delightful part of the bazaar and all the many
volunteers who came to help Karen
made this a fabulous time!
There were 54 vendors that graced
our Trinity campus. The Narthex,
former Sanctuary, Fellowship Hall and
the Gym were a buzz with lots of visitors
buying lots of “goodies.” We sold live
greens and wreathes and Christmas
flowers and arrangements.
Best Friends Fur Ever
brought some friendly dogs and one is in the
process of being adopted
by a visitor to our bazaar!

As we begin a New Year, many of us will make New
Year’s resolutions with the hope of making positive changes in our lives. How about this for a resolution: Let’s take responsibility for our own
shortcomings and not give in to the tendency of blaming others.
A story I read recently highlights this thought:
Two golfers stepped up to the first tee on the St. Andrews course in New York. The older golfer was a kindly man who played a thoughtful, deliberate game. The younger golfer was full of pride and impatience. On the first hole he sliced, lost his ball in the tall grass, hit another one, & had a score of 8 instead of 4 or 5. And the next hole was even worse. Frustrated, he began hollering at the caddy: "Keep your eyes peeled. I'm not here to do your job for you!" Thereafter, every bad shot was the caddy's fault! At the end of the first 9 holes, the younger golfer was so upset that he discharged the caddy & carried his own bag. "That caddy made me nervous. He doesn't like me, and I sure don't like him! I say good riddance to him!"
After several more holes had been played without a word, the older golfer broke the silence: "Several years ago a little kid from Yonkers came up here and became a caddy. He was a sweet-natured boy; quick-witted, willing, and had a nose for golf. Everybody liked him. His name was William; he had a clubfoot. But that didn't affect his caddying. It was a pleasure to go out with him." "A famous doctor, a member of the club, became interested in William and took him south that winter & operated on his foot. When William returned, he went back to caddying. The doctor, however, had to give up golf shortly after that because of his health. And it wasn't long after that when he died. "Months later I was playing a round with William carrying my bag. It was spring, and the fields & hedges were alive with blossoms. William stopped several times to gather flowers until he had quite a bouquet. 'Who's the girl, William?' I asked. 'I haven't any girl, sir,' he said. 'They're for my friend, the doctor--twice a week I take flowers to his grave.'
"Now that's a caddie worth having," the younger golfer said. "Whatever happened to him?" The older man paused and then replied, "For nine holes he was carrying your bag."
I was always taught that when you point your finger at someone else, you have three coming back at you. When the world – when our world – needs to improve, let’s hold the
mirror up to ourselves first. That is a worthy New Year’s resolution.

Join Women’s Ministry
and Meet Some New Friends
CALLING ALL YOUNG LADIES
(ages 13 and up)
Women’s Ministry will be
sponsoring its first ever
Young Ladies Mini-Retreat.
The theme of the retreat will
be: Looking For Lovely by
Annie F. Downs. This study
is written for young ladies,
so you will be able to relate
to the subject content,
participate in the
discussions, discover
something new and have
some fun.
Suzanne Raymond will be
leading this wonderful event. The mini-retreat will be
held on Saturday, February 4, 2016, from 8:00 a.m. -
2:00 p.m. This event is free and open to all Trinity
young ladies and their friends.
Registration is required so we can order enough
materials, snacks and lunch. For more information or
to register, please email Jan McMillen at
jmcmillen@trinityjoppa.org or 410-679-4000, ext. 129.
You may also register online at: trinityjoppa.org.
9 LADIES ADOPTED
This year we started our Anti-
Human Trafficking partnership with
The Samaritan Women. Currently
they have nine ladies in their
restorative program. Trinity was
asked if we could sponsor one or
two ladies for Christmas and we
agreed. Carmela Gorub brought it
up at the God Squad's small group
meeting in November. Within 20 minutes of the
discussion, all nine ladies were adopted for
Christmas. We were overwhelmed by the quick
response. Needless to say, The Samaritan Women
were surprised by this rapid response to give all 9 of their ladies a Christmas this year. For some, this was
their first Christmas to receive gifts. Thank you to all
who generously opened their hearts to these women.
SPRING RETREAT
APRIL 21 - 23, 2017
God called, and He wants his job back!!!
Families…Work…Schedules…
Stress…Life!
Are you ready to LET THEM GO?
Ladies, there is still time to reserve your space at our
Annual Spring Retreat. This year we are doing “Let It
Go” by Karen Ehman. This promises to be an awesome
study. The cost has been lowered to $150 for 3 days, 2
nights and 5 meals plus a great time of fellowship with other great women. A $50 deposit will hold your spot.
To register, please email Liz Carper at
lizcarper@gmail.com and/or Jan McMillen at
jmcmillen@trinityjoppa.org.
WOMEN’S MINISTRY
WEEKEND
On Sunday, January 21, we will
celebrate Women’s Ministry and the
women of our church. We will have
tables setup in the Narthex with story boards
showcasing the activities over the last year. Women will
be serving as deacons and ushers during the worship
service. We will have a guest speaker, Mary Lou
Roberts, deliver the message on that day. The women
will also host the coffee social.
We invite everyone to attend worship service that day and see all the wonderful things the Women’s Ministry
does for our church and our community. We will have
sign up sheets for those interested in helping with some
of the events.
CHRISTMAS PARTY FUN!
GIVE CLEAN WATER TO A FAMILY IN GUATEMALA;
Just $15 for One Villager or $60 for One Family
Almost 20 people will be traveling to Guatemala in April to kick off our multi-year project of Village Transformation in the village of El Jute. We are excited to have multiple families participating in this
first trip with a range of ages. This initial kickoff trip will accomplish two things: allow us to be
present for the dedication of a Trinity-funded new well that will provide clean water for the villagers and
allow us to make relationships with the people we will be serving for the next three years. We will deliver
Blessings Bags to each of the 250 families in the village and hold VBS for the children. The goal of this long-
term project is to not only transform the villagers’ lives physically but also to present the Gospel to the hundreds
of villagers who don’t yet know of Jesus Christ. There are only 15 villagers (out of 1,400) that attend the
Christian church in El Jute. Please contact Mike Hinman at 410-458-4523 or mike.hinman@verizon.net with
questions about this project.
What is needed in January for this project?
Prayers for the village of El Jute that the projects we have planned will bless the villagers and will
provide for a good solid foundation for their future.
Donations toward the new well for villagers. We have just $5,300 left to raise to provide a well.
Would you donate $15 for water for one person? Or $60 for one family? Any donations placed in the
Offering Plate should be clearly marked with “Guatemala Village Support.” You can also give checks to
Mike or Lori Hinman. All checks should be made payable to Trinity Lutheran Church.
Donations of supplies for Blessing Bags for village families. Examples are pencils/sharpeners,
small super balls, travel size bottles of lotion or shampoo, bars of soap, hair ties, toothbrushes, etc. See
the display in the Narthex to choose what you want to donate.

SERVING OPPORTUNITIES
We are blessed! We would like to share our
gratitude towards YOU, our Trinity’s members and
friends, for your service. Thank you for making all
who come to worship feel comfortable and welcomed.
A friendly smile or a welcoming word can be all it
takes to encourage people to explore a closer relationship with Jesus Christ.
SERVING OPPORTUNITY
There are many people hurting in our world. There
are many issues and
situations weighing on the
hearts and minds of our
church members – our
Christian brothers and
sisters. How can we, as
concerned Christian brothers and sisters, help them?
By extending Christ’s love to them.
No prior experience is needed.
We will show you how to use the talents and gifts
God has given you to make a positive difference in
the life of someone with challenges and/or hurts.
We are offering an 8-week course, starting in late
January, that will help you develop your the skills
and decide if becoming a Stephen Minister is right
for you.
Once training is complete, we meet for an hour
once a month as a group to offer guidance and
support for one another.
We need additional people to join our active
Stephen Ministry staff.
Please contact us with your questions!

retreat. If you are interested,
please contact Bill Schafer as

your registration would require the full amount for
the retreat. Don't forget, if you are already a
participant and paid for the retreat in full, great. If you still have a balance, please try to keep to the schedule so we can keep up with our payments to the retreat center. By now, everyone who is participating should be at $140, final payment is due on January
8, it is important that everyone is paid up by that
date. We set up the payment schedules to coincide
with our payments to the retreat center. That's why
it's important to keep up-to-date. Thank you.
FUNDRAISER
Our next fundraiser is scheduled for Wednesday,
January 25, at Bertucci’s Restaurant in Bel Air. Eat

WANTED
Men who would love to help plan
future events, breakfasts, outings,
servant events, etc. The Men’s Ministry Planning Team meets the first Sunday of
the month immediately following the 11:00 a.m.
worship. We currently have a few men who are
actively participating but welcome a few more men
who could help us improve our ministry. Our next
meeting will be on January 8 due to January 1
being the first Sunday and most people will be busy
with their New Year’s Day events. Please stop by in
the Fellowship Hall. We typically try to hold the
meeting to no more than an hour.
A special note of thanks to all
