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.

All Places Together (APT) is a non-geographic community, based in Virginia. APT seeks to gather individuals who are searching for God in the wilderness of life, individuals who deeply want to connect to something beyond themselves, and individuals who believe the love of Jesus is embodied in all of God’s diverse creation.
