Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of elegance, inspiration, and purpose at Legacy & Lace – A Mother’s Day Tea, a beautiful fundraising experience benefiting The Esther Project.

This special gathering is designed to honor and celebrate the strength, grace, and legacy of women—mothers, daughters, mentors, and leaders—who continue to pour into others while carrying their own journeys with resilience and faith.

Set in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, guests will enjoy an afternoon filled with:
✝️ A Christ-centered connection and sisterhood that nurtures the heart and spirit
✝️ Anointed words, encouragement, and opportunities for prayer and spiritual impartation from dynamic women of God
✝️ A beautifully curated tea and lunch experience filled with grace, hospitality, and fellowship
✝️ Sacred moments in His presence that will renew your strength, uplift your soul, and empower you to walk boldly in your purpose

Proceeds from this event will directly support The Esther Project, a grassroots nonprofit serving women in Rochester, NY who are transitioning from homelessness into stable housing.

Through your attendance and support, you are helping us:
✔ Provide essential furniture and household items through Operation Storefront
✔ Support women as they move into permanent housing
✔ Offer encouragement, resources, and stability during critical life transitions

Every ticket purchased and every dollar given helps a woman move from uncertainty to stability—and from survival to thriving.
