Spiritual Growth
The Bloom theme for 2024 – 2025 is Rooted in the Bible, growing together in Christ’s love. We will be focusing on Bible literacy, which is obtaining first-hand knowledge of the text. This study provides rich rewards by developing strong Biblical foundations. We will learn how to study God’s Word directly from the source, the Bible. We will learn study techniques outlined in Jen Wilkin’s book, Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Our Minds. We will be offering an opportunity to study this book in a small group setting. Look out for sign ups at the first monthly meeting and on our app.
