Joy to the World Christmas Market is a festive celebration of creativity, community, and hope.
Browse a curated collection of handmade gifts, artwork, home décor, jewelry, seasonal treats, and one-of-a-kind treasures created by talented, local artisans and nonprofit organizations. Enjoy a delicious lunch, capture a photo with Santa, and soak in the joy of the season as our church is transformed into a welcoming Christmas marketplace.
Every booth fee, lunch purchase, and Santa photo helps support the confirmands of First Congregational United Church of Christ as they prepare for a transformative learning journey to South Africa in 2027. During their trip, our youth will learn alongside local communities about faith, justice, reconciliation, and the history of apartheid while building relationships across cultures. By shopping locally and celebrating together, you're not only finding meaningful Christmas gifts—you're helping young people grow into compassionate neighbors.
Join us as we celebrate the joy of Christmas, support local makers, and invest in the next generation of leaders. Together, we can bring joy to the world in more ways than one.
