Merry Christmas from All Places Together!  In order to celebrate, All Places Together created something special for you. Our second mixtape: Christmas Around the World. In this episode, we’re mixing together the stories from three Young Adults in Global Mission alumni with the biblical stories of Christmas. We'll remember together that while Christmas may not always be merry and bright, Jesus is born for us, wherever, whoever, and however we are.

The readings comes from Wilda C. Gafney's A Women's Lectionary for the Whole Year - A. Published 2021 by Church Publishing Incorporated. Used with permission.

God loves and interacts with each of us as individuals, and we are also connected to one another. Like a person's body is made of many parts, so is the body of Christ. The body of Christ is you and me. It's beautiful and complicated to be in this together. Listen to this week's episode to explore this more.
