Easter Egg Hunt

Just some of the volunteers that day

Our annual Easter Egg Hunt was off the hook! we had over 22,000 people came and had a blast! All of our preparation and hard work payed off.

Loved capturing a picture of my husband with his blue bunny ears!!! he is adorable, and maybe I am bias but he is a great emcee I love serving alongside with him.
Nothing like a day of giving back to the community with my husband and our church family.
Next year will be even grater.

"First Sunday"

1 Corinthians 14:1

Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.

This month at church we started our monthly worship service, I was very excited to be a part of it and experience the Holy Spirit move in a powerful way.

It was the perfect opportunity to just close your eyes, and let it all go, raise your hands if you wanted to, sing at the top of your lungs or be very still and quiet to hear His sweet voice and it the midst of worship just feel His presence move across the sanctuary.

Such a privilege.

Looking forward to see how God is going to continue to move at Canvas and how our worship as a church continues to grow.

Youth Night

To kick off a new year with our youth group we had our first youth night
at our new location with our new name
"The Show"

I was really excited to have a night to worship and have a great time with our jr. high kids and youth leaders, our last event was back in November and had two months off to adjust to our new location and what not, but we are back!
Also, we couldn't pass the opportunity to sing Happy birthday to Eli & MIchelle and embarrass them a little with huge birthday hats :) 

Now for the rest of the year we have great nights out and about planned. I am excited to see what this year has in store for our youth.

Ugly Christmas Sweater party

I have a church family who knows how to have a good time!

Mel hosted an ugly Christas party at her home and it was a lot of fun!!!
from looking for the perfect sweater, to the pot luck and all the games and great conversations we had that night, it was a lot of fun.
Alayna, Jo and I won the contest for the ugliest Christmas sweater! and in honor of that we had an awkward pose in the last picture, not really I wish I could say the awkward pose was intentional butot was not! Ha, but this picture is pretty funny.
I love spending the holidays with my church family, they are amazing.
I totally forgot my camera all ready and packed up in my bed, what a bummer, so you are looking at ugly quality photos from my iphone. I need to be more intentional about carrying my camera wherever I go, I will just add that to my 2013 resolutions.

A very Canvas Christmas

Last Sunday we had our church's Christmas program

Last Sunday we had a pretty fun day at church, we always do, but last sunday was a special one, we had our Christmas program with a musical play and it was awesome. I love to see how our church keeps growing and we keep discovering some awesome talents.

We also had the distribution of the gifts from our "Giving Tree" and this was my second year helping out and it always awesome to be a part of the whole process from receiving the gifts, wrapping them and distribute them to the families that were nominated.

We ended up the service singing Christmas songs and it was just the best way to get in to the holiday's spirit. 

God was awesome this year and we cannot wait to see what he has in store in 2013 for our church and our family.

Canvas Christmas Party

December is here! and so are all the holiday parties.

Last Sunday we had our PIM Christmas party at Dave & Busters

and as usual it was a lot of fun, we got to eat and play some games, just like last year we played Christmas songs charades and our team was awesome!!!!

and of course we couldn't be at Dave & Busters and not play like little kids.

This was the kick off to all of the Christmas celebrations,

this is indeed the BEST time of the year.

Ladies Lunch

On Sunday some of the ladies from our women's ministry group went to Crest Cafe to have lunch. First of all I love these ladies, every single one of them have something great to bring to the table and I love learning from every experience and just knowing that I have ladies like them in my life is very encouraging.
Second of all, we were missing some of our ladies and they not only missed great fellowship but you can never go wrong at Crest Cafe! it is delicious, every time I go there I take forever to decide what I want because I want everything Ha.

looking forward to our next monthly meeting ladies!!!

Canvas Church

Pastor Ben painting a MASTERPIECE

Tasha, My husband & Eli 

On Sunday our church went through an amazing change that determines the beginning of an new era. We changed our name, we are now Canvas Church.
I am really excited for what God is gonna do in this new season and all the great changes that will come, for example our new location starting January. God is amazing!
Our friend Titus was able to capture some of the moments of the beginning of this journey.
It was a fun day and I love my church family everyone was ready and willing to step up and make this happen, also our pastor painted on stage and the worship team was on fire.
