Living the Christ Spirit Every Day: Celebrating Christmas in July
This Week’s Intention
To awaken the Christ Spirit within and remember that joy, generosity, wonder, and hope are not reserved for a season—they are qualities we are called to embody every day.
Who says Christmas only comes once a year? This joyful celebration invites us to awaken the Christ Spirit within and remember that hope, generosity, wonder, and joy are meant to be lived every day.
Through music, stories, laughter, and meaningful reflection, we'll celebrate together and consider how each of us can bring the spirit of Christmas to life in our community between now and Christmas.
Break out your favorite Christmas pajamas or festive outfit and join us for a little holiday magic in the middle of summer!
This Week’s COOL Practice
The spirit of Christmas isn't found on a calendar. It comes alive whenever we choose to share our unique gifts with the world. Every act of kindness, every expression of generosity, every moment of wonder, and every offering of hope becomes part of something greater than ourselves.
This week’s video invites you to carry the spirit of today's celebration into your life between now and Christmas by making a commitment to embody joy, generosity, wonder, and hope in everyday moments.
We’d love to hear from you!

Continue the Practice
Set aside a few moments each day to reflect on your commitment.
Ask yourself: How will I embody the spirit of Christmas today?
Look for one intentional opportunity each day to express your chosen quality through your words, your actions, or your presence.

Created by Our Community
This week's Christmas in July experience is a true community creation. Rather than hearing from a featured speaker, we'll be celebrating through the gifts, creativity, and participation of our own congregation.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has shared their time, talents, ideas, music, and energy to make this joyful experience possible. This week reminds us that when each of us brings our unique light, together we create something beautiful.
