The 2027 Heartline Banquet & Auction: Tuesday, April 13th, 2027

WHAT TO EXPECT

DOORS OPEN - 5:15pm

Want to arrive early to snag your favorite parking spot, settle into your table, and get a head start on scoping out the auction items? Doors will open at 5:15 this year so you can get your party started!

Note that we expect about 350 in attendance, so thank you for your patience as we work to ensure that all of our guests have the BEST experience possible.

Heads up! We’re at Warsaw Community Church this year, so if you’re a long-time attender, note the location change!

SILENT AUCTION - 5:30 - 6:30

Last year was our first time adding a silent auction component to our annual banquet, and feedback indicated it was a HIT! We are working hard to gather bid-worthy items – and a lot more of them! – for this year’s event. What treasure will YOU walk away with?

If you or someone you know would like to donate (or sponsor) an auction item, please reach out to info@heartlinepregnancycenter.org.

DINNER - 6:00 - 7:00

We are thrilled to have Saucy’s once again catering our 2026 event – when people rave about the food every year, you know you’ve got to bring back the GOOD STUFF! So get ready, come hungry, and don’t forget DESSERT!

If you have allergies or dietary restrictions, please email us at info@heartlinepregnancycenter.org – we will do our best to accommodate.

PROGRAM - 6:30 - 8:00

While you’re still enjoying the deliciousness, we’ll start with the fun stuff – door prize drawings, silent auction winners, and the presentation of our annual “Heart of Heartline” award.

We’ll then share the powerful ways God has worked through Heartline over the past year, and how your support impacts hearts right here in our community.

Finally, this year’s speaker, Kelly Lester, will share her story (see more on Kelly below).

MEET THE 2027 SPEAKER: MICHELE PILLAR

Author, Speaker, and 3-time GRAMMY nominee with more than 2 million records sold, Michele Pillar has grown into a highly respected writer. Her book, Untangled: The Truth Will Set You Free, was recently featured on “Dr. Phil” where he spoke to Michele about the effects an abortion had on her life in 1973.

Untangled depicts Michele’s Keynote for PRC’s in chapter four, FOUND. Her first call to courage was at age 9 while hiding under her twin bed to escape the violent behavior of her mother and how she struggled to find her footing, even after becoming a Christian. But more importantly, Untangled is a window of hope, making clear the process of healing with Jesus.

“The power of God is most evident after restoration. We are not the sum of our experiences. Our identities are best grounded in knowing we are the children of God. Once we are truly healed, that miracle becomes contagious. People deserve to understand the process for themselves. I do not base my ministry on past trauma. I love pointing people to honest encounters with Jesus for healing and then challenging them to move on! I use the power of story, humor, and songs; all bathed in God’s Word.” —Michele

Michele’s strong name recognition in Christian music and her many radio hits may be her bedrock but are not what she leans on now. Her writing and speaking engagements for Pregnancy Resource Centers’ at fund-raising banquets and offering, The Clothesline Women’s Conferences are her focus.

Michele’s video bible devotional called the “Two Minute Miracle” reaches over 50k Facebook users weekly, 13 years running. Michele has been seen on, LIFE Today, The Binge Thinker, Kevin McCullough, The Dr. Phil Show, and others. For more information and further videos visit: www.MichelePillar.com
