VINTAGE LUNCH
Vintage Lunches Fridays 1-2PM
Free lunch - All welcome. Always
“This is what the LORD says: ‘Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.'” Jeremiah 6:16
“Vintage Lunch is always an awesome way to end the week and head into the weekend by giving us a chance to relax and unplug while having good food and great conversation! Its unique because you get to talk about faith in a nontraditional way and you get to enjoy a peaceful atmosphere that is separate from the constant hustle of UVA life.” - Caroline, UVA student
YOU are Invited to Vintage Lunch: Theological Horizons’ weekly hour of free food and discussion about the spiritual life - sparked by classic concepts, stories and practices from the Christian tradition. Here we learn from people who followed Jesus in their own times and places – across centuries, continents, and identities. These older brothers and sisters, sometimes called saints, are mentors and friends who help us understand our own lives, our own times, our own faith.
Our motto here is All welcome. Always. And we mean that. Whether you are a lifelong Christian, questioning or convinced in your faith, simply curious about spirituality, or you just came for the free lunch, we would be so very grateful to have you here.
Where & When?
You’ll find us at the beloved Bonhoeffer House, 1841 University Circle.
Every Friday from 1-2pm
All are welcome. Always. No preparation is necessary. See the schedule of topics below!
