Church Together: An Essential Guide to All-Age Ministry by Traci Smith and David M. Csinos

“You want a church where everyone feels at home, from toddlers to elders, growing in faith together. But too often, age-based programs divide what should be one body, leaving people disconnected and missing the richness of shared life. Church Together invites you to a different way.

Traci Smith and Dave Csinos, trusted experts in faith formation with families and faith communities, guide you with practical, field-tested ideas to help your congregation move from siloed ministries to meaningful intergenerational connection. Church Together creates a clear path for bringing people of all ages together in worship, service, and community.” [from the publisher]

Don’t miss the opportunity to hear Traci and Dave speak about their generous, balanced, and exceptionally thoughtful and useful book at our next Grow webinar:

"Thanking and blessing helps us focus on the experience of the moment and the optimism and gratitude that arises from the blessings we have already received. This gives rise to a different kind of hope, one that motivates us to act, but that also keeps us centered in all the possibilities inherent in the now. Instead of locking us into a single vision of the future, a living hope helps us be more flexible. We still have vision, but it serves to orient us in the direction that we, and possibly all of creation, should be moving."

From Thanking and Blessing ~ The Sacred Art: Spiritual Vitality Through Gratefulness by Jay Marshall (Skylight Paths, 2007)

A meaningful Thanksgiving to you, from all us at Caven Library.

Last week, Knox College received a plaque commemorating its induction into the Ontario Soccer Hall of Fame during the 2026 Canadian Society of Presbyterian History Conference. The plaque recognizes the historic 1878 Knox College team, Canada’s first soccer champions.

We are deeply grateful to Canadian Soccer History, the archive founded by the late Colin Jose (1936–2024) and carried forward by Les Jones and Ron Smale. Their dedicated research has helped preserve the story of our 1878 team and ensure that this important chapter in Canadian soccer history is not lost.

Today, students, staff, and faculty from the colleges of the Toronto School of Theology gathered at Knox College for a special Agapé Service, led by The Rev. Dr. Sarah Travis.

This year’s service was especially meaningful as it coincided with the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day that acknowledges the painful legacy of residential schools, the children who never returned home, the families and communities left behind, and the survivors of these institutions.

Many in attendance wore orange shirts, symbolizing the loss of culture, freedom, and self-esteem experienced by many Indigenous children in residential schools.

Thank you to everyone who gathered in community, reflection, and reconciliation.

A beautiful book awaits new readers...

A Beautiful Year: 52 Meditations on Faith, Wisdom, and Perseverance by Diana Butler Bass (St. Martin's Essentials, 2026)

In this new volume, Diana Butler Bass turns her keen intelligence, storytelling prowess, and exegetical and theological insight toward the Christian liturgical calendar, a cycle of sacred stories built around the life and teachings of Jesus.

This collection of short essays which follows the church year from Advent through Pentecost and beyond, arose from posts Bass originally wrote for her newsletter, The Cottage. The anecdotal style reflects these origins and brings a freshness and honesty to the meditations.

But A Beautiful Year reaches beyond the personal. Calendars, argues Bass, shape us collectively by telling us what is important--what we honour and value. In stark contract to other calendars which emphasize nationalistic and commercial celebrations (think Black Friday and Cyber Monday), the liturgical year frames "an alternative story" that "extols empathy, vulnerability, gratitude, and compassion. It praises no nation-state, and it is cosmic in its vision."

For Christian worship leaders looking ahead to Advent, the introduction alone would be an excellent way to frame the liturgical year and why it matters. But A Beautiful Year would also be a good companion for anyone looking for challenge, hope, wisdom, and a kind of spiritual ballast in tumultuous times.
