The Greatest Gift, Christmas Dinner

This year’s Women’s Christmas Dinner was nothing short of extraordinary — two unforgettable evenings with over 530 women each night, gathered to celebrate The Greatest Gift of all: Jesus Christ.

Our theme verse, John 12:3, set the tone for our hearts as we came together:

“Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.” — John 12:3

Just as Mary poured out her costly offering in worship, we prayed that every detail, every moment, and every act of service would be a sweet fragrance unto Jesus — and He truly filled the house.

A Night Overflowing With Worship and Wonder

The evenings opened with the Calvary Worship Team, who led us in Christ-exalting Christmas worship that lifted our gaze to Him.
Michelle Randall delivered a beautiful, heartfelt message that pointed us back to the simplicity and majesty of Christ’s birth—God’s love poured out, freely and sacrificially, for us.

One of the most cherished highlights was watching Jenna Cushman paint live on stage—a powerful visual reminder of the beauty of Christ’s story, unfolding in real time before our eyes.

A Celebration Made Possible Through Many Hands

This event shone brightly because so many served with the heart of John 12:3—giving generously, joyfully, and sacrificially.

A special thank you to:
• The men who served faithfully both behind the scenes and up front—lifting, carrying, building, directing, parking, and protecting.
• The women who wrapped gifts for every single guest—hundreds of beautifully prepared reminders that they were seen and loved.
• All who helped with set-up, decorating, hosting, tear-down, and clean-up, pouring out their time and creativity to transform the space.
• Bad to the Bone for providing delicious meals that blessed our tables both nights.

Your service was the fragrance that filled the room.

Above All… We Praise God for His Greatest Gift

In a season filled with lights and music and gatherings, nothing compares to the wonder of Christ Himself.
He is the gift.
He is the fragrance.
He is the reason we celebrate.
