Our goals in JOY ministry are to first of all bring women into a personal relationship with Christ and second to help them to grow in that relationship and in relationships with one another on a deeper level. We hope to offer a good variety of places and events for women of all ages and backgrounds to connect and get involved and we would love for you to be a part. Our Bible studies are the heart of our ministry and are complimented by other activities and events throughout the year. We are always adding activities to our schedule and always looking for new ladies to connect with.

Spring Luncheon: The Secret Child
Ladies, we have an incredible spring luncheon planned for you this year! Special guest Kirsten Hart will share her testimony of her own adoption, which she wrote about in her book The Secret Child. The luncheon will be Saturday, April 28 from 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. in the Atrium. The event is free, but we ask everyone to bring their favorite salad and one package of toilet tissue to be donated to City Union
Mission. If you would like to host a table, contact Diana Spalding at 268-1520 or dspalding@firstbaptistraytown.com.
