After much prayer, planning, and consideration, the UMCC Board has made the decision to postpone our annual Christmas in July Fundraiser Dinner for 2026.
This year, we are choosing to focus our time, energy, and resources on an exciting new chapter — the launch of the Mills on Market Thrift Shop. We believe this new venture will allow us to better serve our community year-round and strengthen the mission behind everything we do.
While we will certainly miss gathering together for one of our favorite annual traditions, we are incredibly grateful for the continued support, encouragement, donations, and prayers from this community. Christmas in July has always been such a special event because of the people who rally behind it year after year.
Please know this is not goodbye — only a pause. We fully plan to bring back Christmas in July in 2027, and we look forward to making it bigger and better than ever.
Thank you for walking alongside us as we continue working to serve local families and grow new opportunities within our community. We cannot wait to share more updates about Mills on Market in the months ahead!
