Ladies Tea Parties
Each table seats eight women and is hosted by a GCC attendee who invites guests, decorates her table, and welcomes everyone seated with her. Guests are encouraged to bring their own tea sets or special china, allowing these beautiful pieces to be shared and celebrated rather than collecting dust in the cabinet. If a hostess doesn’t have enough guests to fill a table, solo attendees are thoughtfully placed so that everyone has a seat and a chance to connect.
The cost for each tea party is $20 per person, and the food is a highlight of the event. Guests can look forward to fresh chicken salad, egg salad, and benedictine sandwiches, along with homemade scones served with rich southern cream that will have you savoring every bite. The desserts are equally delightful, ensuring you leave both full and satisfied.
Each gathering lasts about 90 to 120 minutes and includes time to enjoy a variety of teas, learn more about their flavors, and share meaningful fellowship that fosters genuine connection. You’ll leave with a full stomach, a full heart, and, most importantly, new friends and a deeper appreciation for the women God has placed in your life.
Our final tea party of the year will be held on December 6 at 2:00 PM at the Mud Creek campus. Reservations open 60 days in advance, so be sure to secure your spot early by contacting Sheri Dowden at 317-460-0731 or Sldowden@prodigy.net.
The Ladies Tea Parties are a new and exciting venture for the Women’s Ministry of Geist Christian Church. These welcoming and heartwarming gatherings are designed to bring women together for a special afternoon of food, fellowship, and connection, surrounded by the charm of your favorite china — or those treasured pieces passed down from your grandmother.
Whether you are new to GCC or have been part of our church family for decades, the tea parties are a wonderful way to connect. If you’re new, it’s an opportunity to meet other women and start building friendships. If you’ve been here for years, it’s a chance to get to know people you may not have met yet. The tea parties are also a perfect opportunity to invite non-GCC friends, family, or co-workers to experience our community in a comfortable, relaxed setting where tea, food, and fellowship are at the heart of the afternoon.
