///CANVAS SERVES

Hey Canvas Crew,

This week we have multiple opportunities to engage in measurable redemption. We're partnering with All Quality Products and United Way's Day of Caring to help out The Neighborhood Center (NC). They're an organization with whom we are ideologically and financially partnered in bringing hope and redemption to the homeless of West Volusia.

So, Thursday afternoon evening a few of us will be pressure washing the thrift store at the NC. Then on Friday we'll all meet up at about 1pm and paint the thrift store till we're done- probably by five or six pm. At this point, there may dinner or drinks to celebrate and refuel after the project. Depending on what else is needed, we may join up with some other work projects at the NC on Saturday.

Then on Sunday, we'll be having our regular Second Sunday lunch at Sunflower park in down town DeLand- near the buttercup bakery. but, this week we'll be meeting early in Allen Hall at Stetson, to make bagged lunches. If you can't make to help assemble lunches, please join us for some quality time with our homeless brothers and sisters.

So the schedule is as follows:

Thursday Afternoon- Pressure Wash @ NC
Friday 1-6pm- Paint at NC
Saturday- Projects TBD
Sunday 10:30 @ Allen Hall, Assemble Lunches;
12pm @ Sunflower for lunch.

Please e-mail info@thecanvaschurch.com to let us know when and where you're joining us to serve.

THOUGHT- at the inception of Canvas, we talked much about the church as incarnational, rather than attractional. We understood this to mean that church happens most authentically, not when we invite the most people we can to come do religious things with us, but rather, after coming together and celebrating the reality of God's living, loving movement in the world, we break ourselves apart, disassemble, and seep into the cracks of our culture- where we show the world love and redemption in any and every context.

So, Canvas Serves
