Are you ready for Christmas?

If you have been hanging around Heartline, your answer is YES!

We kicked off the Christmas season with “Unwrapping the Gift of Christmas” on December 1st, a festive evening of dessert, coffee and fun girlfriend time, as you can see in the smiling faces below.  We loved our time with guest artist Sylvia Lindsey of Crimson Bridge, who shared her heart, her music and her story.  Fun fact: We learned that Sylvia’s uncle, who wrote “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” rewrote the lyrics after he came to  know Christ to “Have Yourself a Blessed Little Christmas.”

Huge thanks to the wonderful Crux students who served dessert and coffee…

And thanks, also to the guys from the Thursday night Bible study who helped with clean up, even though I heard they enjoyed more chocolate than our women did 🙂

Last week was the last week of Bible studies and MOPS for the year and, of course, each group concluded with a Christmas celebration.

Thursday morning girls enjoyed a Christmas brunch and…

…worship led by Brenda, Debby and Darlene.

So…. even though many of us may have a little more decorating,  shopping or baking left to do before we are ready for Christmas, our hearts and minds certainly are prepared for the celebration of Jesus’ birth.

Be sure to check back in a few days to find out what happened to all the toys and blankets we collected…

And have yourself a blessed little Christmas!
