Holiday Tea 2009

This holiday season I participated in my church's annual Women's Christmas Event. Before sharing pictures from this year's event I thought it would be fun to share pictures from the 2009 and 2010 events.

This is from my 2010 post on Flour Girl .

In 2010 I was a part of a team of women organizing an evangelistic event for our church. The Holiday Tea is an event in which a woman hosts a table with 10 seats. As a host, she decorates the table and invites 9 friends to join her for the event. We have the event as an outreach to our friends and neighbors. We pray that it energizes and inspires women as it draws us into our Lord's presence and dedicates the season to the memory of Christ's birth and His relevance in our lives.

As we excitedly begin planning for this year's Tea, I wanted to share some pictures from The Holiday Tea in 2009. These tables were each created by a different woman from my church. And, these beautiful photographs were taken by Steve Wampler and Matt Youngblood. To learn more about Steve's photography visit his site.

These tables are exquisite and inspire me when I think about table settings for holiday parties.
