October can feel like a month of settling in. The routines are established, the calendar is filling, and before we know it, we’re moving from one thing to the next without much space between them.

But what if prayer begins with making room?

Not adding one more thing to an already-full day, but setting something down. The noise. The hurry. The need to accomplish. Even the pressure to have the right words.
Sometimes we need a little room to breathe before we can hear what God is saying.

What might you need to set down this week?

“Has God not sent them to us?”

In the early 1900s, thousands of newcomers were arriving in Canada, bringing new languages, cultures, and stories. Baptist women began asking what it might look like to welcome them—not simply with words, but through friendship, practical care, and faith.

From open homes to English classes and new churches, women stepped across cultural and neighbourhood boundaries to make room for their new neighbours.

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour Indigenous peoples and communities, remember the children who never returned home, and honour survivors.

May we listen, learn, and walk together with humility, today and every day.

What if the seasons that feel slow, hidden, or even painful are where God is doing His deepest work?

Inspired by Jesus’ words in John 15 and the imagery of the vineyard, The Art of Vinemaking invites us to discover the loving work of the Divine Vinedresser—pruning, shaping, and cultivating lives that bear lasting fruit.

Through Scripture, reflection, and conversation, we’ll explore what it means to abide in Christ and trust God’s work in every season of life.

Whether you are growing, waiting, pruning, or beginning again, this study is an invitation to slow down, listen, and discover the beauty of abiding in Him.

What season are you in?

Join Tracey Bagley for The Art of Vinemaking, a five-week book study exploring the seasons of the vine and what they can teach us about our own lives with God. Together, we’ll consider what it means to abide in Christ through seasons of growth, pruning, waiting, flourishing and offering.

Wednesdays, 7:30–9:00 p.m.
October 7 & 21 • November 4 & 18 • December 2

Come curious about the season you’re in, and make space to notice what God might be cultivating in you.

Not every act of faithfulness feels significant.

Sometimes it looks like making dinner, welcoming someone new, listening to a friend, teaching a child, checking in on someone who is struggling, serving quietly or simply showing up again.

These things may not make headlines. But they matter.

God is at work in ordinary lives—and He has given each of us something to offer. As we find our place in community, we can begin to notice the ways our gifts, stories and everyday faithfulness can make room for someone else.

What has God placed in your hands in this season—and who might it bless?
