This Week At Canvas – 22 March

Posted on 22. Mar, 2010 by Nathan in Blog, News

Some of you might be asking, “What am I going to do this week?”

Even more of you are probably asking yourselves, “What am I doing on Tuesday of this week?”

And even more of are saying to yourselves, “I wish Canvas was doing something so fun there’s no way I would ever decide not to come.”

Well, for all of you, I have something exciting to tell you.

THIS TUESDAY NIGHT. 8 PM. WE’RE HAVING OUR FIRST EVER CANVAS VILLAGE FÊTE! If you’re someone who has no idea what our version of a “fête” is, let me tell you what’s going to happen.

Free dinner at 8, Sumo wrestling, balloon animals, hook-a-duck, welly wanging, bean-bag tossing, candy apples, barn dancing, face painting, and a 6 foot man eating chicken! It’s going to be the most fun you’ve had since the weekend away, I promise.

Also, you should wear your best flannel shirt… we’re barn dancing after all…

We’ll see you at Canvas on Tuesday Night @ 8 PM. There’s no better way to celebrate the end of the term!

And just a reminder, we’re having our weekly BBQ on Tuesday this week just to get everyone in the mood for some good old fashion barn dancing. It’s from 12 to 2. Hope you can make it!

See you soon!

I thought instead of telling you what you already know: that Tuesday Night @ Canvas is on tonight at 8pm. And that there’s a free BBQ @ 12 on Thursday. And SOUPer Thursday at 7:30. Instead of all of that, I thought I would remind all you wonderful people that there is a weekend away to Wales this Friday to Sunday!

The cost is £35 plus helping pay for the petrol to get there. If you’ve already signed up, please pay Canvas because we need to pay Cefn Lea Conference Park. Talk to Alli about that stuff.

Tonight, we will sign up for transportation to Wales (who is leaving when and in what vehicle) and we’ll talk about what you need to bring (so you don’t freeze in the middle of the night or get your favorite Gucci sweater dirty by the campfire).

So, to clarify. This Friday to Sunday. Weekend away. Cefn Lea Conference Park in Wales. £35. It’s gonna be amazing. Let us know if you have any questions.

See you all soon!

Many of you have been anxiously awaiting the results of the rounders match on Sunday… if you aren’t aware, the Birmingham Rounders team played the Birmingham Ultimate Frisbee team in a game of rounders on Sunday afternoon in Selly Park.

After a closely contested match, the women pulled away with the game in the final innings, winning 28-11. Injured by a rounders bat as a woman was running to first base was Owen Mclatchey. If you see him, give him some headache medicine.

Here’s what’s happening this week!

TUESDAY NIGHT @ CANVAS. 8 PM. This week, just like every week, we’ll eat a delicious dinner, listen to some great music, and hear a talk from one of the Canvas staff members about his journey through the Christian faith. Dinner starts at 8. And we’ll head down to the pub around 10:30 or so. Hope to see you there!

THURSDAY BBQ. 12 PM. Every Thursday, from 12-2, we grill burgers outside Canvas for whoever wants a free lunch! Come by this week to eat, play some ping-pong, and hang out around the house for a little while.

SOUPER THURSDAY. 7 PM. There’s nothing better than a warm bowl of homemade soup on a chilly night. Because of that, Canvas is heating up copious amounts of soup and bread to fill your cold stomachs. We’ll eat at 7, hang out around Canvas, go see a film, go the pub… really anything our hearts desire. Hope you can make it!

FRIDAY. 2 PM. Every Friday afternoon, some people get together at Canvas to play some crazy game. These guys from Georgia Tech have some interesting ways of playing the sports you and I have known and loved for so long. Hope you can come see what I’m talking about.

That’s what is going on this week around Canvas. The doors are open every day with coffee, tea, free WIFI, and somebody to ask you to play ping-pong while you’re trying to do your work.

Hope to see you all soon!
