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 Lovely Market will open at 3 pm, inviting guests to enjoy an afternoon of shopping and fellowship before the festivities begin. Doors will open at 5:30 pm, welcoming you into an evening of elegance beginning promptly 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 and enter the presence of the One whose throne surpasses every earthly kingdom. Throughout history, monarchs have been adorned with magnificent crowns, opulent treasures, and lavish displays of splendor. Yet the Christmas story unveils a far greater Sovereign. One whose majesty is revealed through humility, whose authority is marked by compassion, and whose kingdom endures forever.

We are delighted to welcome our distinguished guest speaker, Kay Woodward, who will encourage us to behold anew the beauty, majesty, and steadfast reign of Jesus Christ, the true King of Kings. Her message will inspire us to embrace the hope, peace, and joy found only in His everlasting kingdom.

The evening will feature exquisite worship, inspiring performances, and moments of heartfelt reflection, followed by an elegant light supper accompanied by tea (please note that tea service will not be available in balcony seating). 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.

Should you wish, 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. May this Christmas season find us not merely admiring the grandeur of a royal court, but rejoicing in the grace of the King who welcomes us into His presence forever.

Tea Service tickets are available for $30 and include an elegant light supper accompanied by tea. Balcony seating is available for $25; while guests will enjoy the full gala experience, please note that tea service is not included with balcony tickets.

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

Madison was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She was a hopeless sinner saved by His sweet grace. Her passion is to see other women's lives transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Sheologie changed her life, and now her prayer is that every woman, no matter their age, finds purpose, belonging, friendship, and their own God-given identity here. Her heart is to minister and love on every woman she crosses paths with. Madison loves walking through gardens and spending time with her soon-to-be husband, Landan. She enjoys trying new coffee shops, and brunching with her friends and family. Madison's office door is always open for a quick "hello", a SoPo coffee run, for prayer, and anything in between.

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.
