What is UKirk?
In short, UKirk stands for University Church.
In not-quite-as-short, UKirk is a national network of campus ministries of the Presbyterian Church, USA. You can find out more about this network here: www.ukirk.org
UKirk @ VCU is a downtown Richmond, VA branch of this emerging ministry. We believe "we are called to be a witness to and for the world of the new reality that God has made available to all people through Jesus Christ: by building a community where unique and inclusive individuals value one another, and where we engage relevant issues in deep and open conversations. Because we seek to know Christ and make Christ known in downtown Richmond and throughout the world." We live into this call by gathering together every Thursday night from 7-9pm for food, faith, and fellowship.
There's always room at the table! Come check us out!

Fall Semester Upcoming Events:
Thursday November 1st, All Saint's Day Discussion @7pm: Presbyterian's historically haven't had much to do with "the saints"--but why is that? What does it mean to pray to saints or "honor" them in a unique way? Why is there an All Saints Day? Let's discuss this together on All Saint's Day itself in the UKirk space at Second Presbyterian! Thursday November 8th, Camp Hanover @6:45pm: Due to Hurricane Michael, we had to reschedule our visit out to Camp Hanover--join us as we enjoy a hot meal over a camp fire and hear from Colleen Earp, Director and Youth and Environmental Ministries! We'll be leaving from VCU's Campus at 6:45pm to carpool together. Thursday November 15th, Third Thursday Worship, Dinner Church/Friendsgiving Potluck @7pm: This week we're doing something special for worship: we're celebrating a practice known as "Dinner Church"--a worship service that incorporates a meal in the middle of worship. We'll also use this opportunity to celebrate Thanksgiving together by having a "Friendsgiving Potluck"! So feel free to bring your favorite side/desert/Thanksgiving treat--our meal volunteer is providing the Turkey! Thursday November 22nd, NO UKIRK--Happy Thanksgiving!! Thursday November 29th, Bible Study with Guest Rev. Mairi Renwick @7pm: Join us as we welcome Rev. Mairi Renwick, admissions director of Union Presbyterian Seminary! Thursday December 6th, Christmas Party @7pm: our last Thursday night gathering of the fall semester will be our annual Christmas Party, hosted at Alex and Lisa's apartment in the North side. Let's celebrate an awesome semester together and Jesus' birthday with some great food, games, and maybe even a Christmas movie or two! |
