VINTAGE LUNCH

Vintage Lunches (free!) Fridays /1-2PM

“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

Welcome!

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

For more info or to get invites, contact Karen karen@theologicalhorizons.org 434-466-1342

All are welcome. Always. No preparation is necessary. See the schedule of topics below!
