Christ & St. Luke’s is now a steward of the Heritage Edition of The Saint John’s Bible. This Advent, we will take advantage of this wonderful gift and use it to help reflect on some of the passages central to our understanding of Advent. This forum series will combine two sacred traditions of scriptural interpretation — Visio Divina and Lectio Divina.
Using the words of scripture, and the beautiful illuminations in The St. John’s Bible, we’ll spend some time reflecting together on this season of waiting and anticipation. This forum series will be participatory, with attendees’ input being central to the Visio Divina and Lectio Divina processes. We’ll be aided by our wonderful Christ & St. Luke’s docents of The Saint John’s Bible, who will help unlock some of the rich meaning woven into each illumination.
This class will meet during the 9:15 a.m. Adult Formation hour on November 30, December 14, and December 21.

Blue Christmas Service
2025-12-21 18:00 - 19:00 | Christ & St. Luke’s, 560 West Olney Road, Norfolk, VA, 23507, United States
The Season of Christmas is a joyous time. But it is not always easy to participate in that joy in ways we might want to, which can make this a difficult season for many. For those wrestling with grief and loss, with anxiety and uncertainty, and for those whose experience of the holidays brings up challenging memories, it can feel overwhelming to have to try to embody the joy of the season.
The Blue Christmas Service on December 21 at 6 p.m. is designed to be a space of quiet, rest, and contemplation, where we can bring the entirety of our being – the good, the unpleasant, the broken, the hopeful — and hold ourselves in the goodness of God’s love. It is a Christmas service that helps us focus on the hope of our Christian faith. Designed with contemplative musical choices, like Taizé singing, and with lots of room for silence and reflection, this is a service that is intentionally different from the rest of our Christmas celebrations.
This year’s Blue Christmas service falls on the longest night of the year, Dec. 21st. It’s a reminder that though the darkness is strong now, the light is growing ever so slowly. Throughout the entirety of God’s story with creation, we have seen how the love of God has brought hope and comfort even in the darkest days. Our faith in God tells us that it is not unreasonable to hold on to hope. Join us just as you are, as we give thanks for the light that is coming in.

Family-friendly Eucharist featuring the Children’s Christmas Pageant
2025-12-24 16:00 - 18:00 | Christ & St. Luke’s, 560 West Olney Road, Norfolk, VA, 23507, United States
The Christmas Pageant is one of the most special times of the year. It’s a unique and cherished opportunity for our children to step into and retell the greatest love story ever known. Watching them live into being a part of our history, embodying the roles of shepherds, angels, and even a live baby Jesus, is moving and brings the story to life.
There’s a moment, usually around the fourth rehearsal, when I look out and see those children, and it hits me: “Wait, those really are shepherds over there. Those are really angels. Look at Mary!”
In those instances, it’s not just a play; it’s a profound experience that reminds us all of the meaning of Christmas.
The pageant is more than just a performance; it’s a vital part of our community, a tradition that brings generations together and allows us to experience the timeless narrative of Christ’s birth through the innocent and joyful eyes of our youngest members. It’s a beautiful way to connect with our faith and with each other.

Pub Theology Club
2026-01-06 19:00 - 20:30 | VA
We are a welcoming and diverse group of people, between the ages of 20 and 40. We hang out, meet up for brunch, throw parties, and support each other no matter what. We typically meet every other Tuesday evening for Pub Theology Club at a local pub.
Pub Theology Club is a community of respect where young adults can explore questions about humanity and the divine without fear and without judgment.
Sometimes we listen to a podcast or read a book and discuss it. Sometimes we ask questions about life and faith. Sometimes we just share what’s on our minds and love and support one another on our unique journeys.
Want to join us? Contact Will Lee for details or just show up at one of our events and introduce yourself!
We accept all and hold strongly to only one idea: that everyone walks their own path in their faith, and ours is not to dictate that path but to help each other along our own.

The season of Epiphany is a season of divine encounter. We come face to face with manifestations of God in our life, in our world, in ways that change the way we live and thus the world in which we live. For our Adult Formation in this season we welcome back Rabbi Michael Panitz who will lead us through a number of Jewish resources that explore this idea of epiphany and encounter and the subsequent engagement it brings forth. Rabbi Panitz will also be our guest preacher on Sunday, February 8th.
Jan 11 – Taking shelter under the wings of God’s Presence: Jethro and Ruth in Rabbinic literature
Jan 18 – That which endures: Thinking about God in secular times
Jan 25 – Three routes to awareness of God: Epiphany in the thought of Abraham Joshua Heschel
Feb 1 – In the Valley of the Shadow: Rediscovering God after tragedy

Join us in the Parlor at Christ & St. Luke’s at noon following the 10:15 service on the second Sunday of each month.

So if you have aged out of our wonderful “Pub Club” group for people in their 20’s and 30’s but are still hungry to connect with people, join us! We will meet on the third Tuesday each month from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. at the Green Onion at 1603 Colley Avenue, Norfolk. Food and drink available for purchase.
