Blossom 2021
8th Annual One-Day Women’s Retreat
The Theme of the Retreat: “My Peace I Give to You!” (John 14:27)
We are sad that we could not meet in person for Blossom this year, but we did not want to miss out on a day to gather for fellowship and inspirational talks that will help us to draw closer to Christ and to experience his peace in a deeper way while, at the same time, drawing closer to each other. Because of that, a virtual version of Holy Trinity’s annual Blossom Women’s Retreat took place on Saturday, April 24 on the ZOOM Platform. We know that gathering on ZOOM is not the same as meeting in person, but it was better than not meeting at all.
It was a joyous day with inspirational speakers, uplifting music, prayer, sharing and the making of new friends!
Speaker: Fr. Mike Metz
The ZOOM retreat opened at 8:45 AM for social time. The formal program began at 9:00 AM. The retreat ended at 4:00 PM. There were 2 talks by Fr. Mike Metz, one witness talk, breakout rooms for small group sharing, two wonderful group activities and a time of prayer.

What is Blossom 2021 Women's Retreat?
Blossom 2021 is a one-day retreat designed for women of all ages. It is a day for women to take time out their busy lives and allow God to strengthen and nourish them. It is a time to fill themselves up with God's love as he ministers to them through the inspirational speakers, uplifting music, prayer, sharing and the making of new friends.
Breakout Rooms instead of Tables
Instead of individual tables, this year Blossom will feature Zoom “break-out” rooms, which is a feature that enables a large ZOOM gathering of people to "break out" into smaller groups for a portion of the meeting and then come back together in the large group. We will use the break-out rooms for small group sharing at different times during the retreat.
Two Ways to Participate
You can choose to participate in two different ways:
1. From your own home via zoom.
2. With a group of friends in someone’s home (socially distanced, of course) and join the ZOOM Blossom gathering as a group to follow along with the retreat.
Suggested Donation for supplies: $10
