We’re Saying goodbye
After prayerful consideration, we are saying goodbye to A Christmas Gathering. We will not be hosting the event this November (2026), or in the foreseeable future. This is not a decision we make lightly because we know just how much this event means to all the ladies who attend and volunteer. A Christmas Gathering has always been a wonderful opportunity to invite friends and family to share in the joy of the upcoming holidays, but also to hear the most wonderful news of all - Jesus! However, the team has all felt the strain and pull between planning A Christmas Gathering and caring for our growing families with excellence. It is a bittersweet decision, but one that we know is most honoring to the Lord and the people He has placed in our care.
We want to thank all of the lovely ladies who have attended and shared in the celebration of Christmas. We want to thank all of the ladies (and the men!) who have helped over the years to make A Christmas Gathering possible. We want to thank all the local businesses who donated give aways and stayed open late for ladies to shop. We want to thank our precious families who spent countless hours behind the scenes sacrificing time, talents, and energy to support us in every way possible. Finally, we want to thank our God for the honor and joy that it was to point women to the true reason for celebrating Christmas...the joy giver, Jesus Christ.
As always, have a Merry Christmas!🎄
Love,
Aleesa, Allison, Mati, and Clara
