ABOUT US

Cup of Joy is…
Cup of Joy is a ministry created out of Doris Bowen's passion to teach women to discover and renew their passion for God. Her desire is to encourage women to spend quality time with their heavenly Father and restore their love and devotion to Him.

Retreats:
Time to escape from every day responsibilities. Time for fellowship with other women, encouraging teaching, Bible study and quality time in prayer. We invite you to escape for a weekend to refresh your mind, rediscover your Heavenly Father, enjoy nature and gain a clearer perspective on what God has in store for your life.

Bible study:
Time to spend getting to know the Author of Doris' favorite book - the Bible! God is passionate about spending time with you and He will do whatever it takes to remind you of His love. We invite you to learn how to love the Author and His Word.

What makes Cup of Joy different?
Doris' passion is to provide "relevant" messages, music, praise and reflection that will nourish your spirit and allow time for reflection that will lead you into God's presence. Cup of Joy prays that each and every woman has the opportunity to enjoy knowing their God personally and delighting in His truths. Come join us at a retreat or at our ongoing Bible study gatherings.
"And He said to them, 'Come away by yourselves to a lonely place and rest a while.'" Mark 6:31
