The Gospel According to the Full Backpack
September has a way of reminding us that life is always inviting us to begin again. In this reflection, The Gospel According to the Full Backpack, discover how an ordinary backpack becomes a gentle lesson in faith, learning, and letting go of the burdens we were never meant to carry. With warmth, humour, and hope, this post invites us to travel lightly, trusting that Christ walks beside us every step of the journey.

September is a season of fresh starts — new routines, sharpened pencils, and hopeful beginnings. In this light-hearted reflection, Rev. Don Davidson explores how God’s grace is found not in perfect plans but in faithful new beginnings, reminding us that the God who creates each morning is always inviting us to begin again.
September Again: The Grace of Beginning Once More
Summer may still linger on the calendar, but September always feels like a fresh beginning.

Perhaps this season will help us see that Christ has been waiting for us in the ordinary all along.
