Is it Spring yet?
I know things have been slow at a stand still throughout the holidays, but I think we are getting on track again. (We being this summer loving, winter hermit, who dreams of hiding under her covers until she sees her shadow and comes out for Spring.) As if my children would allow me to even sleep in, let alone take a day off of obligations. I'm try to get rolling after the hectic, off schedule, sugar rush of a holiday break (and we didn't even do anything for the Cantata! I don't know how you people dot it!)
That said.... get ready for some amazing things happening this year with trinitywomen!

We need Betty Crocker
And all her friends (ie. YOU!)
If you didn't realize, Christmas is coming. I know there are many reactions happening right now. Sighs of exasperation, giddy dancing, list makers are stocking up on paper and pens...
I won't tell you what category I fall under.
I'm working on that. ahem.
There is one thing that many of us women are doing this season though.
We are baking.
Or for some of us- We are BAKING!!!! *Squeal with Delight!*
If this is your thing, your joy, your favorite way to share this holiday season, we need you.
Trinity needs ladies (or any men you know who don a hot mitt) to bring in 2 or 4 dozen of your choice of cookie for the Christmas Eve service (please avoid nuts!).
Well, not for the actual service, but the fellowship time after!
Issy Calland will be the one you want to contact to sign up.
icalland@trinitylife.com or 410.821.6188. x. 102
She needs this information by Thursday, December 16!
Be sure to tell her how many dozen and what kind of cookies you will make.
(Oatmeal raisin, snicker doodles, gingerbread men, sugar cookies, chocolate chip.....oh dear, I think I just drooled on my laptop.)
If you come to the Christmas Eve service, please consider sharing!

What to do next...
Are you waiting for the next TW event?
Well, don't sit around twiddling your thumbs! Today we can rally up and help a ministry we have in our home church. It even affects some of our own Trinity Women.
As you may know, we lost a sweet member of our lives/church last week. Debbie Wade has finished the race and we are now reflecting on her life, smiling, thinking about what was important to her, still smiling, and wondering what we can do.
Our special needs ministry, The Sonshine Place, is changing rooms and is now getting a chance to grow into a new vision for that ministry. Karen Boecker has dreams for our church family with special needs. We can help by giving to The Sonshine Place ministry. I urge you all to pray about giving to this area, for a one time gift, or a regular commitment. This wonderful (much needed) ministry often gets overlooked, but Debbie reminded us how important it really is.
Each life God creates is important and can be used for God!
Debbie's sister, Sarah gave me permission to re-post this article she wrote. It truly encompasses Debbie's life in a sweet way.
Sister
by Sarah Wade Reimers on Monday, October 25, 2010 at 10:56am
Do you know what happened April 24th 1986? That is the day I became a big sister for the very first time. That is a pretty big deal when you are not even five years old yet. My little sister Debbie was born with spinabifida which the five year old me explained very simply with a shrug of the shoulders as a hole in your back over your spine I think I will stick with that definition although there really was a lot more to it then that.
I remember her being so small like a doll, I remember holding her on the couch while my mom vacuumed the house. I remember Christmas when my parents got her a ball and we started rolling it back and forth she had already figured out what it was before she even opened it, my parents were amazed.
I remember her first electric wheelchair and the bruises it left on all of us as she would run us over stay out of that girls way when she gets mad. I remember David our little brother riding on the back of it yelling trash man as she road him around the house.
Every mile stone she achieved was a victory, every birthday a major event, every vacation a special memory. Debbie was never supposed to live very long never supposed to pick up her head or roll over never supposed to talk and surely would never see her teen years we were supposed to forget about her twenties all together. Debbie was never expected to graduate from school,live on her own or get a normal job yet she managed to do all of those things.
My little sister in a wheelchair with the odds stacked against her managed to do many things that people who are of sound body and mind never manage to do! Debbie loved proving everyone wrong. Every sickness and every surgery she would fight through she would come out of the OR a complete grizzly bear but she would make it home to achieve another mile stone. Haha
Debbie was a tattle tale some kids are taught it is good to tattle others are taught not to and Debbie was of the group who just enjoyed doing it. I think surviving was her way of tattling to God she would be like "God they said I couldn't do it that I would not get through it well look at me now!".
Debbie had faith, faith that could move mountains I am sure. It is easy to have faith when your life is simple or normal and even when complications come your way it is not very hard to believe in God but you have to have a lot of faith when you are born into a body that is so complicated from the start that simple never even is a thought. She had faith in our God who is a healer and her faith remained even when she went unhealed believing that their was a purpose to her suffering. I bet that no one has touched as many lives with no intention of doing so then Debbie has.
Debbie's faith and belief in God was child like she never questioned it and it never faltered. Going home to visit with her this last time I was in awe at how mature she was. I still tend to think of everyone as if they were frozen in time ten years ago when I left home. To me Debbie was still a 13 year old girl that my mother did most of the talking for. Yet there she was using medical terms and directing her own life that little baby I had held a full grown woman on her death bed in front of me. It was wonderful holding her hand hugging on her talking about heaven.
Debbie and I often butted heads growing up mom said we were to much alike to much like our father and she was right but we still loved each other and talking about heaven is so easy for us to do. I was fiercely her sister and she was fiercely mine I never saw her as being different or disabled and I made sure she knew it. I have always had high expectations for all of my siblings actually for everyone that I meet and I can honestly say that Debbie met those expectations that I am so very proud of her.
That mature outspoken little sister of mine that I got to spend two wonderful last days with has more then exceeded any expectations I ever had for her life and I always knew she would be amazing. I would have given anything to have just a little bit more time enjoying her life with her but I will always treasure the time I did get.
Debbie is a part of me she helped shape my life and make me the person I am today. I do not know, I could not even imagine what my life would have been like if Debbie had not been or was different in any way. Debbie is a super star, her favorite color is purple actually violet, she loved cats and dogs and children, she was a witness, a testimony of God's love, a fearless example of faith, a mighty warrior, Debbie was and is many great things but most importantly of all Debbie is my little sister and I love her!

Are you Scrappy?
You don't have to answer that out loud.
But, if you are a Scrapper, as in a Scrap-booker, then you must check out Trinity's very own Scrapalonians!
They are focused.
They get projects finished.
They never socialize and enjoy themselves....
Ok, you KNOW that couldn't be right. How could a bunch of women get together and not socialize and enjoy each other? Especially here at Trinity?
I have no idea how they get work done, but they do! I'm not a scrapper (although plenty scrappy) but I'm tempted to check it out for the sweet balance of work and fellowship.
If you are interested, the group asks that you contact Denise Raduano first (so they can be prepared with tables and such).

So far, and things to come!
There is no doubt. We are hungry. The women of Trinity are ready!
We are regrouping, reconnecting, reorganizing.
God is going to use us. He has already started to move....
I know, KNOW He will do something amazing through us.
Ladies, be sure to get plugged in. You don't want to miss out.
Check out what is going on at Trinity for you.
Bibles studies, groups, events.
(Look under the What's Happening page for info)
The last couple events have been A-MAAAAzing!
The Women of Faith Conference in Philly was incredible. Trinity had 25 women go and experience a refreshing from the Lord.
Here is a little overview from the conference
(this year's theme was Over the Top).
At Over the Top events we ask the question from Romans 11:33: Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God…?
And our answer is: No, quite honestly, we haven’t!
The weekend we experienced proved that in so many ways. Wasn’t it wonderful? The stories we heard—from the stage and the audience—will resonate in our hearts for a long time. God’s extravagant generosity was in action as evidenced by the 1,061 who indicated they made first-time decisions for Christ at Over the Top. 719 children now have hope for a new future, thanks to the generosity of their new World Vision sponsors. Additionally, many of you opened your generous hearts to teen girls and together signed up for 1,506 seats at the upcoming Revolve Tour. We thank God for these and other lives that were (and will be!) changed. We thank God for you, too! Hope to see you next year at Imagine.
And last week at the Bonfire....
well, there was more to it than S'Moreos!
We laughed, we cried, we came together in the love of sisters in Christ! I for one, love knowing that I have "family" at Trinity. If you missed it this time, be sure to come out for the next event!
Next event?
Oh, did I say that?
Guess you want me to tell you, huh?
Well......
No!
Ha ha!
Stay in touch.
There will be some exciting things coming soon!
Until then, be in prayer for the Women of Trinity.
Pray for unity, and a thirst for more of God.
Pray for God to move in a BIG way among us!
