On the five Sundays of Lent (February 22, March 1, March 8, March 15, March 22 from 9:15 a.m. — 10:00 a.m.
Throughout the Bible, “oppression” is one of the main evils against which people of faith must contend. They must resist oppressing others and they must work to liberate
those who are oppressed. But what exactly is oppression? Who gets to define it? What does it really feel like to be oppressed? What does it do to people? How do we help?
Join us this Lent as we use our Sunday Adult Formation time to explore this topic. We will hear from clergy and special guests speaking about their own understanding and
experience of oppression and broaden our engagement with this essential aspect of our faith.

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.

In one of the most influential theological books of the 20th century, pastor, educator, and civil rights leader Howard Thurman explores the relationship between “the religion of Jesus” and the African-American experience. Thurman’s work seeks to reach beyond anger and distrust toward a vision of unity and understanding by celebrating and exploring the resonances between those stories which have led to powerful witness to the liberating power of love in the Christian faith and American civic life.
Join us for a five-part series this Lent as we partner with Second Calvary Baptist Church to discuss Thurman’s thoughts and share our own reflections and stories, seeking to find our own way past anger and distrust, to a place of unity. Discussions will be jointly led by The Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Guns, Senior Pastor of Second Calvary Baptist Church and The Rev. Noah Van Niel.
The first three sessions will take place at Second Calvary Baptist Church,
(2940 Corprew Ave, Norfolk, VA 23504):

February 26 – Preface and Chapter I: “Jesus — An Interpretation”
March 5 – Chapter II: “Fear”
March 12 – Chapter III: “Deception”

The final two sessions will take place at Christ & St. Luke’s:

March 19 – Chapter IV: “Hate”
March 26 – Chapter V: “Love” and Epilogue

We ask ourselves: How does the queer perspective enrich queer theology and our community? All LGBTQIA+ people and allies are welcome. For more information contact Anders “AJ” Nolan.
Join us in the Parlor at Christ & St. Luke’s at noon following the 10:15 service on the second Sunday of each month.

Seasoned Spirits

This group was begun by parishioners who wanted to make deeper connections with other members of their church family who are passing through the middle decades of life. The purpose is to spend time and communion together, once a month, and discuss relevant topics, share mutual interests and experiences, and grow in fellowship and faith through casual, lively conversations. 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. For additional information contact Jo Ann Short.
