Celebrating the gift of Christmas was the mission of Christ Community Church in Waseca on Friday and Saturday, Dec. 2 and 3.
The event was a women’s candlelight dinner. The crowd gathered in the sanctuary where decorations depicted nativity scenes related to the Christmas season. A walkthrough of the beautifully ornate setting opened at 6 p.m., with the meal following at 6:30.
In addition to the dinner, entertainment was provided by Gaye Lindfors, who “is not afraid to poke fun at her own mishaps” and will tell stories to “encourage the heart, feed the soul, and give something to giggle about.”
Lindfors comes from St. Paul but grew up in the small town of Climax in northern Minnesota. She was a leader in a human resources department for a company with 11,000 employees and served as a special assistant to a university president. “I’m blessed to be where I am today,” Lindfors said. “God has helped me through the good times and the tough times. And every time, he’s shown up.”
She loves talking about God at her many speaking events and in her books. “I travel around the midwest to share my experience with God,” she adds.
In addition to telling stories about her faith, Lindfors also had books available to purchase, including Getting My Ducks in a Row and God, Girlfriends, and Chocolate.
With a great dinner and Lindfors’s entertainment, “Celebrating the Gift '' reminded people that fellowship, praise, worship, and encouragement are important. “Christmas is a time of year when we come together and enjoy each other’s company,” Lindfors concluded. “It’s also a time of year to remember the reason for the season.”
