The wall in the Canvas House announcing our Canvas Bible study.

And so it begins. All this stuff that we’ve been about for the past year, leads us to this point. Bible study begins at Canvas tomorrow. Tomorrow also happens to mark the one year anniversary of our time in England. Funny how that’s worked out.

Here’s what we’ve said about Bible study on the Canvas website:

We’re having a what?! Bible study?? This is Bible study CANVAS STYLE: Well, you don’t bring a Bible and there is no studying. Come have some dinner, listen to some music and listen to one of the Canvas staff (meet the staff) talk about their own journey as a Christian.

***If you thought Bible Studies involved trousers pulled up to your chest, digestive biscuits and someone snoring in the back… then THIS is something NOT to be missed!***

Come and see for yourself. Tuesday, 28 October. 8pm. At the Canvas House.

When this first Bible study has come to a close, we’ll all celebrate in mighty ways at how faithful God has been. We strive to show love, grace and acceptance every single day at Canvas and this is one more way that we’ll do just that. Will you pray with us about this huge, monumental opportunity to continue to share Jesus with the community of students around us?

As Leah mentioned last month, prayer is so vitally important to us. That’s why, every month, we make available a downloadable and printable calendar with daily prayer needs. We need your support in this way; we couldn’t move ahead without it.

We believe in the power of prayer.  So many times along this journey Kevin and I have been overwhelmed by the next step or even uncertain about what the next step should be.  Only when we stopped trying to figure things out on our own and started asking God for his input did peace come.  Not necessarily the answer we hoped for, or even an answer right away, but reassurance that someone greater than us was in control.  Someone greater than us is still in control.  Hallelujah!

It is also humbling for us to recognize our need for community. Thank you for praying with and for us.  We need you with us, asking God for direction and wisdom and courage. Encouraging us with your prayers.  It is a pleasure to be in community with you.  Please keep praying.
