Rooted & Flourishing in Christ's Love

"They are planted in the house of the Lord; they flourish in the courts of our God. They still bring forth fruit in old age, they are ever full of sap and green, to show that the Lord is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him."
Psalm 92:13-15
Welcome to Bloom Women's Ministries at Christ Church Anglican! In addition to glorifying Jesus Christ, Bloom's mission is to help women be rooted and to flourish in His love. To that end, Bloom offers many occasions for Christ Church women to grow spiritually together through prayer, study, fellowship, and service.


Calendar
November 28 (Mon) 6:30pm
Join the women of Christ Church Anglican for an Advent Natural Decoration Workshop led by Marie Hoyle. Bring an appetizer to share, your beverage of choice, and a 6 yards of festive wired ribbons (at least 3" in width). 

I'm excited to share my experience and interest in bringing the fruits of the advent season to light for not only their culinary purpose but also decorative ones. I was blessed with a wonderful childhood experience growing up and visiting my uncle's herb farm in the hills of the Shenandoah valley where for 20 years he developed a 200 acre historic farm into a gardeners paradise. I share in my uncle's passion for the fascinating search into the history and uses of biblical herbs in everyday use as well as decoration. From wreaths, garlands and table setting we will bring together a natural decorations approach to the Advent and Christmas season. Join us for a demonstration on incorporating greenery, fresh and dried herbs, flowers and fruits into your seasonal decorations.
Spiritual Growth
If you are not already in a Life Group or a small Christian group of some kind, Bloom encourages you to join a small Christ Church women’s group (Bloom Group) of 4-8 women for the purpose of Bible or book study, prayer, and general support of one another. A small group setting is the ideal environment for sinking roots deep into the Person of Jesus and into His love within Christian Community. While Bloom Groups are highly encouraged to meet at least twice a month, each group will determine its own schedule and frequency.

Suggested studies:
  • Invitation to the Jesus Life: Experiments in Christlikeness by Jan Johnson
  • Summoned: Answering a Call to the Impossible (a study of Esther) by Megan Brown
  • Jesus and Women by Kristi McLelland
  • Risky Faith: Becoming Brave Enough to Trust the God Who is Bigger Than Your World by Susan Yates​

If you would like to participate in a newly formed Bloom Group, you may select that option on the sign up form. Deacon Joyce will prayerfully place women into groups and notify you.
Prayer
A Bloom prayer e-chain Women who wish to participate as Prayer Warriors will be able to opt-in by contacting Katy Hunter at khunter@christch.org. Women who participate do so with the understanding that all prayer topics must remain strictly confidential. That means that there should be no discussion with anyone else, including your spouse, and one should never approach the person being prayed for, even with the best of intentions. Simply appeal to the Throne of Grace.

Bloom Prayer Team This group will consist of women who feel specifically called to meet regularly and pray for God to bless the Bloom ministry at Christ Church.
