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!

I waited until I was hungrier than just hungry and I walked into the breakfast room at about 9 am on Saturday morning.

I saw some tables with butter and napkins laying on them. I got to the breakfast table where there was a toaster and 5 loaves of bread… and an electric kettle.

Major disappointment.

If you want something that won’t disappoint (See what I did there?), here’s what’s happening at Canvas this week!

TUESDAY NIGHT @ CANVAS. 8 PM. This week, we’ll listen to the Canvas band play some great music, eat Mexican food in honor of the students going there to build a house, and Jason Tatum will be talking a little about his journey through the Christian faith. It’s gonna be a great night. Dinner starts at 8. See you there!

FREE BBQ. THURSDAY. 12-2 PM. Come by Canvas this week to eat a burger, play some ping pong, and sit around with some really cool people. Hopefully there will be enough 70% cheese for everybody! See you there.

SOUPER THURSDAY. 7 PM. I was watching it snow yesterday and all I kept thinking was, “I wish I had some delicious soup.” Well, on Thursday, I’m hoping I start thinking the same thing because Canvas is heating up some soup and bread for whoever wants to come eat! We’ll start eating at 7, then hang out at Canvas, go see a film, or go to the pub… anything our hearts desire! Hope you can make it!

MANVAS. FRIDAY. 6 PM. We’re lighting up the bbq and throwing whatever meat you bring to Manvas on top of the flames. We’ll eat manly things and play video games on some big screens in Canvas for a few hours. It’s gonna be awesome! Spend some time practicing your Halo skills, pick a good slab of beef, and come down for Manvas on Friday night!

And as always, the doors to Canvas are open all week. So come by to do some work, drink some tea, or hang out with us.

TUESDAY NIGHT @ CANVAS. 8 PM. PANCAKES. This week, just like every week, we’ll eat a delicious dinner. But this time, we’re having a fantastic pancake dinner! So, come 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 huge pots of soup and tons of 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.

The doors to Canvas are open all week with coffee, tea, and WIFI available. Come by and say hi, come and study, or just come by and beat someone in ping-pong.

Hope to see you all soon!

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!

This will be the second time they’ve brought the clinic to Canvas and we’re honoured that we can be a part of their work. Come to Canvas between 12:30pm and 4pm for your chance to impact someone’s life in a positive way.

Visit their Facebook event page and let them know that you’ll be there.

This is a post from Canvas entitled Birmingham Marrow at Canvas Tomorrow.

But, I AM excited about this week’s events at Canvas! Here’s what’s going on:

Open Mic, Monday night, 8pm. Two weeks ago, someone who resembled Mozart got on stage and played the piano. Who knows who’ll be playing this week?! Whether you play music or just stomp your foot in the shower (not sure if people do that), you’re invited to come along. It all starts around 8. See you there!

Tuesday Night at Canvas, 8pm. This week, just like every week, we’re eating a delicious dinner, listening to some great music and hearing a talk from a Canvas staff member about his walk through his Christian faith. Afterward, we’ll head down to the pub to hang out with each other. Dinner starts at 8. Hope you can make it!

Wednesday, 12:30pm. Birmingham Marrow, in partnership with the Anthony Nolan Trust will be providing a Bone Marrow Clinic at Canvas. This is a great way to make a real difference for someone. Watch a video about Birmingham Marrow and how your time can help.

Thursday, BBQ, 12pm. Come by Canvas to grab a FREE burger (or two) on your way to or from Uni. Each week, we cook until about 2. So come eat some lunch with us!

Souper Thursday, 7pm. On a cold, winter night, there’s nothing better than a hot bowl of Lloyd Grossman’s soup… and some warm bread. That’s exactly what we’re serving up on Thursday evening. After we eat, we’ll play some games, ping-pong, go to the pub… really anything our hearts desire. Again, we’ll start eating at 7. Hope you can make it!

Friday Sports. Each week, some people get together and play some crazy game at Canvas. Last week, we had an interesting game of crawly-pong… an American mixture of ping-pong, cricket, and volleyball… I have a feeling we’ll be playing again this Friday. Come by at 2 for some fun times.

As always, the house is open during the day with tea and coffee available for your sipping pleasure. Hope to see you around!

This is one way that we can continue to be better neighbours to you, and being great neighbours is important to us. Hope you’ll join us this Sunday.

On 8 December, at 8pm, we’ll hear Mosaic play some of your favourite Christmas tunes in a unique acoustic style, all of them musically interesting, using polished vocal harmonies and incredible stylistic arrangements. As the evening goes on, we’ll have some free mince pies and other holiday delicacies. Music and pies. That’s it.

As a special bonus, listen to a track off Mosaic’s latest holiday album, right here. Click ‘play’ below to hear them perform O Come, O Come Emmanuel.

It will be a relaxing and memorable way of starting off your holiday season.
