8 Days Until Our Life Changing Conference

Well time certainly does fly! It's hard to believe that there are only 8 days until we meet for the In Full Bloom Women's Conference.  Here is a sampling of the workshops that you can attend on Saturday:

We will begin on Friday night with anointed worship by a Christ Church Praise Team and the spirit-filled teaching of Pastor Marlinda Ireland.  In this"The Ladies Garden Club" we will spend time opening our hearts and ushering a new season of growth.


"Club Bloom"- featuring Pat Andrews the Queen of Christian Comedy, she will use her comedic gift to tell side-splitting tales of our lives as women, wives, and mothers. 


Saturday will begin with "Morning Glory" and more anointed worship!  Our workshops will begin with following choices:


Weed Control:

Moving Through Seasons of Barrenness (Don’t Die in the Winter!):

Polished Petals (Recognizing and Honoring Our Uniqueness/Significance):

Single Moms in the Garden


Our guest speaker, Dr. Adrian Mueller, will then take the platform to impart her wisdom and empowering words from the Lord.

We are so excited about what God is doing in our midst and can not wait for next weekend!  Still haven't registered?  Here is the link

Faith is Being Sure!

We are a little over 2 weeks away from our Women's Conference, and we are busier than ever tending to details.  Our Women's Ministry Leadership Team is working hard and praying for God's will to be done at this conference.  So Dr. David's current message about faith is so timely for our purpose as a committee. 

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" Hebrews 11:1  

As we continue to move forward with planning workshops, a luncheon, and wonderful surprises, we are pressing in and using our faith because we don't really know how many women will come!  We are trusting God that we will have more women than we can imagine, but truthfully, we have no idea.  Our March 2nd Launch Service proved that if we put our faith first, The Holy Spirit will show up!  As each of us sat in the first pew on the night of that service we kept turning  our heads in amazement  at the number of women who came!  So we rest in the knowledge, that God has something great in store for this concerence!


"These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised.  God planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect".  Hebrews 11:39-40.


We know that our God will show up and show out! We are walking in the knowledge that the women of Christ Church and this region are ready for a life-changing conference with workshops that will help them find God's purpose in their lives, incredible spirit-filled worship, and fellowship with women of God who are seeking to learn and grow to new heights.

Renewal, Rejuvenation, The Resurrection

It is a month away from our In Full Bloom Women's Conference.  We have worked very hard and there is still so much more to do.  Honestly, it is overwhelming.  But this week, we are stopping to reflect on The Cross.  Because  Christ Church offers so many services, it does give us the opportunity to hear a good Word, praise, worship, and reflect.( Please go to www.christchurchusa.org for a listing of our services.)


So we are reflecting on all that The Resurrection means.  Being alive unto Christ! We rebuke sickness, disease, grief, strife, depression, anxiety, doubt, fear, self-loathing, hatred, injustice, etc.  Jesus came, died, and rose from the grave so that we can now, today, experience the best that life has to offer.  We can step right into healing, glory, faith, hope, confidence, purpose, love, victory, peace, joy, forgiveness, and the abundance of life!  


"Christ Jesus, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped; but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, and was born in human likeness. And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him, and bestowed on him the name which is above every name.
Philippians 2:6-9

The thought of The Resurrection is energizing.  It fills us with the hope to finish the race with excellence.  Spreading the good news and working tirelessly for Him.  The highest form of humility.  His greatness and love are overwhelming and life-transforming.  


We praise Him for what He continues to do for In Full Bloom, and for each and every woman in our community.  Thank you Lord for The Resurrection!
