Christmas is almost here and Pastor Keats and Pastor Colleen are still making the yuletide gay. This week they reflect on the phrase “glories stream from heaven afar” from Silent Night and imagine together what heaven is like, when it is both far and near.

Join Pastor Colleen and Pastor Keats as they talk about how brave shepherds are and how things must be really scary to make them quake.

It’s week three of Making the Yuletide Gay and we’re reflecting on: Shepherds quake at the sight. Just as the shepherds trusted God and grew confidence through our life experiences, we can too. 

Is it just us or does it low key feel like the world is ending? Or is it just always this way? Join Pastor Colleen and Pastor Keats of Technicolor Ministries as they reflect on the phrase “All is calm, all is bright” from Silent Night and find ways to cultivate calm and see the bright even in the chaos.

This Advent you’re invited to Make the Yuletide Gay with Technicolor Ministries and All Places Together.

This year, we’re queering Silent Night and exploring how this beloved hymn continues to share the power of Jesus’ birth with a hurting world. Pastors Keats and Colleen will reflect on the hope, strength, and love we receive from God. In this first episode, they explore how we can be tender and mild like Jesus. 

In the final episode of our getting to know God series, join Pastor Colleen in exploring one of the most important ways of how God is active in the word: forgiving.

Finding God in daily life can feel difficult at times. In this episode, Pastor Colleen explores the places where God has promised to be without fail: in the sacraments and where two or three are gathered.

As we continue to get to know God, this episode traces where God is in the Bible: with God’s chosen people, in holy places, and in the Word himself.

This week at All Places Together we explore another part of who God is: the One Who Loves Us Through Death, by looking at the story of the Exodus and the Resurrection. There is a lot of talk about death in this episode, so listen with caution if you’re in a tender place. Spoiler alert: Death loses. God’s love always wins.
