Thank you Vintage Lunch Sponsor, Christ Episcopal Church!

This fall, we’re asking our community to consider sponsoring a Vintage Lunch. Each lunch is catered by a local Charlottesville eatery and helps feed 30-40 students who come hungry for food and community and spiritual nourishment.

Thank you, Christ Episcopal Church, for being a Vintage Lunch sponsor! (pictured are Jen Sapunarich & David Zahl, campus ministers based out of CEC).

1. Why did you choose to sponsor a Vintage lunch? How are you connected with Theological Horizons?

"Food and faith have always made a great combination. From wedding feasts to heavenly banquets to weekly Eucharists, we at Christ Episcopal Church see how our spiritual nature can be fed by the feeding of our earthly bodies.

We want to support and encourage the Vintage Lunch series by providing a meal for UVA students seeking nourishment! Christian writer Henri Nouwen says this “Having a meal is more than eating and drinking. It is celebrating the gifts of life we share. A meal together is one of the most intimate and sacred human events. Around the table we become vulnerable, filling one another’s plates and cups and encouraging one another to eat and drink. Much more happens at a meal than satisfying hunger and quenching thirst. Around the table we become family, friends, community, yes, a body.”

We hope that our small contribution to the work of Theological Horizons will help them in their continued work to feed the body of Christ at UVA."
