Christmas in July Community Market

Christmas in July Community Market

On Saturday, July 25, Christ Church proudly hosted a Christmas in July Community Market in partnership with the Country Club Neighbourhood Association. The event brought together parishioners, local vendors, and members of the wider community for a day of fellowship, fun, and community spirit.

Families enjoyed the opportunity to meet Mr. and Mrs. Claus, who delighted children and adults alike while posing for memorable Christmas photos. A wonderful variety of local vendors showcased and sold their handmade products, highlighting the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit within our community.

Christ Church also featured Holy Craft, where parishioners generously donated handmade items that were offered for sale in support of the church. Upstairs, visitors browsed a lively garage sale, while neighbourhood residents participated with tailgate sales, creating a welcoming marketplace for everyone to enjoy.

The event was a tremendous success, providing an opportunity to build new relationships, strengthen existing connections, and engage with the greater community in a meaningful and joyful way. We are grateful to everyone who volunteered, donated, participated, and attended, helping to make the day such a memorable celebration of community and fellowship.
