Sound like just what you need? We thought so! Head over to CCRespond.com for more info and to sign up for Table Gatherings.

We had such an incredible time last Saturday at PolkaDotted Farm, picking flowers, learning about the different varieties, and creating beautiful arrangements. Can’t wait to go back next Summer- we hope you’ll join us!

Hey Moms! Do you need a night out away from your kids to take a deep breath and connect with other women in the same season of life? If you answered yes, this event is for you! Come casual and be prepared for a low-key night with friends. RSVP at CCRespond.com so we know to save you a seat!

Just a reminder that this Saturday is our Flower Farm Field Trip! We only have a few spots left and we’d love for YOU to join us! For those worried about the heat, we will only be outside for a short time- just long enough to pick our flowers. After that, we’ll be in an air-conditioned building with cold drinks and snacks as we arrange our hand-picked flowers and chat with new friends and old. Sign up via CCRespond.com ASAP to claim one of the last spots.

Picture yourself out in the country, surrounded by a field of flowers. Smell the sweet floral scent on the breeze, feel the summer sunshine kissing your cheeks, hear the sound of friends' laughter, taste the sweetly tart icy-cold lemonade as it cools you off from the summer morning heat. Sounds like a beautiful dream, but it’s going to be our reality on Saturday, June 29! Join us for a Flower Farm Field Trip to PolkaDotted Farm in Anna, TX. We’ll pick flowers and have a lesson in flower arranging while we visit with friends and enjoy refreshments. Only 28 tickets are available for this intimate gathering, so sign up soon at CCRespond.com.

If you're like me, you may be a little bit tired and a whole lot in need of some encouragement.

It's hard being a woman. So many expectations placed on you. So many decisions to make. So many responsibilities to manage. But stress and worry isn't what God wants for us. God wants us to live an abundant life. A connected life. A life of hope and peace. A life focused on Him and filled with people who can love us, support us, encourage us, and point us in the right direction. And He wants us to be able to offer the same thing to others.

Join us Thursday, June 6 to be filled up, to be encouraged, to make connections, and to just still ourselves for a breath of fresh air. We will gather around the table at 6:30 PM for dinner catered by Lamberti's Italian Ristorante and will hear a message by Lyndy Pinkston, Women's Pastor at Antioch Community Church in Fort Worth. Tickets available at CCRespond.com

To all of the mothers and grandmothers with full quivers; to the childless mothers and the children wishing they could have one more day with their mothers again; to the women with the heart of a mother, longing to have their own; to the mothers and children grieving strained relationships; to the mother figures filling roles they weren’t given biologically; to the spiritual mothers pouring into a generation of kingdom builders: today you are fully seen and known by the God who loves you.

We’re so excited to announce our annual Women’s Dinner, happening on Thursday, June 6th from 6:30-8:30 PM. Invite your friends and grab your tickets, available now at https://ccirving.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/320/responses/new

Happy International Women's Day to all of our BEAUTIFUL Christ Church sisters! We are blessed beyond measure to be surrounded by such a mighty group of women. You are so very loved by God and by your church. I pray that today you will trust God completely and will be able to stand boldly with confidence for the days to come.

Last weekend's Women's Retreat was absolutely amazing! Holy Spirit was definitely moving in the hearts of everyone there as we spent time in worship, prayer, and learning. Our prayer is that every one of our women will come to know God more and truly trust and believe Him through time spent in prayer.

May the Lord do a new thing in your life in 2024 and may the year be filled with abundant blessings for you and your family.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever.

The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.

Isaiah 9:6-7
