Pathway is a spiritual formation app designed for the people you're doing life with — your closest friends, committed to growing together in apprenticeship to Jesus. Unlike social platforms or church communication tools, Pathway is built for small, intimate communities where real transformation happens. Everything in the app is designed to be experienced together. WALK THE PATH TOGETHER Pathway is organised around the metaphor of a journey — past, present, and future — so you always know where you've been, where you are today, and where God is calling you next. TODAY — Your Rhythm of Life Build a personal Rule of Life made up of daily, weekly, and monthly spiritual practices. Each day, only today's practices appear — no overwhelming lists, no guilt-based streaks, no performance metrics. Just the practices God has called you to, one day at a time. Your community can see your rhythm, encourage you, and walk alongside you. THE PAST — Your Story Journal the story God is writing in your life. Share entries with your community and watch the larger narrative unfold over time — a record of God's faithfulness, written step by step. THE FUTURE — Your Focus Areas Capture the areas you sense God calling you to grow in. Keep them front of mind, share them with your community, and let them shape both your practices and your conversations. CURATED CONTENT FOR EVERY STAGE Pathway includes a structured content journey across five levels of spiritual maturity — from Seeker to Movement Maker — with each session suggesting practices to carry into your Rhythm of Life. Learn together, then live it out together. COMMUNITY AT THE CENTRE Every screen can be viewed through the eyes of someone in your community. See what your friends are practising today, read their stories, and encourage them on their focus areas. BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED A living day/night cycle follows the sunrise and sunset at your location. The path you're walking animates around you as you move between past, present, and future. Pathway is built to be a tool for formation, not distraction — no gamification, no engagement loops, no noise. Begin your journey. Invite your companions. Walk the path together.

The Common Prayer Canada app, brought to you by the Prayer Book Society of Canada (PBSC), introduces the 1962 Canadian Book of Common Prayer to a new generation. The PBSC offers this free resource with ‘the hope that those who use it may become more truly what they already are: the People of God, that New Creation in Christ which finds its joy in adoration of the Creator and Redeemer of all’ (Preface, vii). +++ ASSIST us mercifully, O Lord, in these our supplications and prayers, and dispose the way of thy servants towards the attainment of everlasting salvation; that, among all the changes and chances of this mortal life, they may ever be defended by thy most gracious and ready help; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (The Collect for the Rogation Days)
