Winter Gala 2026: Christmas with the King

Lenya Heitzig and the Sheologie Team request the pleasure of your company at our annual winter gala on Tuesday, December 1, at Calvary Church Albuquerque. The evening will commence at 5 pm, and the event will begin at 6:30 pm.

This year’s gala, Christmas with the King, extends a royal invitation to lay aside the hurried pace of the season, choosing instead to enter the presence of the One whose throne surpasses every earthly kingdom.  

We are delighted to welcome our elegant guest speaker, Kay Woodward, who will encourage us to behold anew the beauty, majesty, and steadfast reign of Jesus, the true King of Kings. The evening will feature worship, inspiring performances, and moments of heartfelt reflection. Tea will be served with a light supper.  

Guests are also invited to stroll through our Lovely Market, a carefully curated collection of local artisans offering beautiful seasonal treasures and thoughtfully crafted gifts. 

We invite you to don your Christmas finest and join us for an evening of refined celebration as we gather in honor of the King whose invitation is extended to all.

This event is for women only. Nursing babies are welcome; however, children must be eight years of age or older to attend.

Please note: Tea service is not included with balcony tickets.

Hi, I'm Lenya Heitzig, founder of Sheologie where we encourage women to step boldly into their God-given calling. Whether that’s at home, in the workplace, the church, or wherever God leads, we believe your influence matters.

There is an undeniable art to being female. And I want to personally invite you into something very close to my heart: Sheologie. At its core, Sheologie is a movement of women choosing to live fully alive in Christ. It's a space where your soul can breathe again. A space where we encounter the living God in ways that ignite a holy passion to transform our everything.

Sheologie was born from a desire to create a place where women from all walks of life can encounter truth, beauty, and purpose. Whether you’re searching or struggling, healing, or celebrating, we want you to know that you belong here. We believe that God has written something sacred over your life. And we’re here to help you uncover it.

So, what does Sheologie offer? We host Bible studies that dig deep into God's Word paired with breakthrough groups, so you never have to walk alone. Our seasonal events are designed to refresh your spirit.

We show up with purpose on social media to be a light in the scroll, offering truth and beauty in a place that often feels dark. And we'll send you a weekly devo to help you pause, refocus, and lean into God's presence.

There's always space here for worship, laughter, healing, and restoration. No judgment, no performance. Only Jesus.

We've seen lives changed. Marriages restored. Healing begin. Friendships formed. Purpose awakened. That's the power of community. That's the power of God's Word. And that's the heartbeat of Sheologie.

So, if you're wondering if there's a place for you, there is. If your heart's been whispering "there has to be more", you're right. If you’re ready to become all God created you to be, this is your moment. Come with your questions. Come with your faith, or your doubt. Come with your whole, beautiful story. There’s a seat for you. There’s a sisterhood waiting. There's a God already calling you closer. And here at Sheologie, we can't wait to walk with you.
