Weekly Programs at the Bonhoeffer House
Vintage Group + Lunch
Explore the Christian life with Vintage, a reading and reflection group that meets weekly during the academic year at the Bonhoeffer House in Charlottesville.
Each week we read a brief passage from the classic Christian tradition. We find new perpective on our own spiritual lives from believers who wrote, wondered and prayed long before we ever got here. From time to time we jump into the present day with a nooma dvd. Vintage creates a space for conversation as well as for quiet.
Vintage meets 1:00 to 1:50 [new time!!] every Friday at the Bonhoeffer House. No preparation is ever needed and your are welcome to join at any time. We can give you a ride to or from class.

Occasional evenings at the Bonhoeffer House offer a setting in which believers and friends of all ages can come together for food, Scripture, singing, prayer and conversation from the heart--and come away refreshed.
