Los Angeles, CA – The atmosphere was electric with joy and sisterhood as the ICCLA Women’s Ministry, fondly known as the Virtuous Women, gathered for their annual Christmas Party on December 6, 2025. Under the grace-filled guidance of Senior Pastor Nony Kalejaiye and the vibrant leadership of Ministry Head, Sis. Nkiru Ene, the event was a spectacular testament to faith, fashion, and fellowship within the Nigerian diaspora.
A Sea of Red, White, and Sisterly Love
The banquet hall was transformed into a festive sanctuary, adorned with elegant blue and white balloons and “Merry Christmas” backdrops that set the stage for a night of celebration. In true Virtuous Women fashion, the attendees dazzled in stunning ensembles, with vibrant reds and crisp whites dominating the room. From traditional African prints to modern festive silhouettes, the elegance on display was a beautiful reflection of the “virtuous” identity they carry.
Praise, Dance, and Divine Connection
The evening wasn’t just about the aesthetics; it was a powerful move of the Spirit. The video highlights capture a room filled with high-energy praise, as the women lifted their hands and voices in gratitude for a fruitful year. Whether it was the heartfelt worship or the rhythmic dancing that spilled into the aisles, the “God of the Impossible” was clearly at the center of the festivities.
Strengthening the Bond of Fellowship
Between the soulful singing and a delicious spread of festive treats, the women took the time to capture memories, with laughter echoing through the hall. Sis. Nkiru Ene’s vision for a ministry that fosters deep connection was palpable as sisters embraced, prayed, and cheered one another on.
As the ICCLA community looks toward the new year, this Christmas celebration serves as a glowing reminder that when Virtuous Women gather, the joy of the Lord is truly their strength.
