Cup of JOY Women or Gathering

Podcast. You can start a study group with one or more friends and meet for just one hour weekly over coffee for discussion and reflection. First, you can listen to a 10 to 15-minute podcast before or at the meeting. Then, you follow a one-page worksheet with commentary & discussion questions related to the Podcast and Scriptures. It's fun and will deepen your faith!

Choose the Podcast Series. You can choose from any Wrap Yourself in JOY Podcast Series, including 1) Ruth: Finding JOY in Tough Times & Trusting in God's Goodness, 2) A Joy-filled Advent Journey, 3) Esther for This Time, 4) Joyful & Battle Ready, 5) Nehemiah & Rebuilding Hope, or 6) Finding True Joy., You can start any time. Each podcast series of 7 to 8 podcasts is based on one of the JOY books written by Karen and five have imprimaturs. 

One Hour. The weekly ONE-hour format encourages all to know the meeting will be focused and not take up much time. Discussing the content covered in the questions and commentary related to the podcast will help the Scriptures come alive. 

Handouts Provided. The one-page worksheet of questions and commentary will be emailed to the host in a front and back PDF that includes all Scripture references.

Inviting a least one other person to join in a Cup of Joy group study is a beautiful way to involve others in the study of Scripture plus foster gentle evangelization. You will grow in faith, hope, love, and JOY together.

Help for Hosts.  Ask the Holy Spirit to inspire you about where you could meet and who you should invite. Start with only one other person or an entire room full of friends. Karen can help you get started. Just send her an email.
