MIDWEEK


Learn, grow, and connect outside of Sundays.


ANCHORED

Next group kicks off September 9, 2026
Wednesdays | 6:15 - 8:15 PM  


Anchored is a discipleship initiative that weaves together the biblical story, Christian doctrine, and spiritual formation. Its goal is simple but transformative: to equip followers of Jesus to know and love Him deeply, love others, and make Him known. As you journey through the unfolding story of Scripture alongside others, your understanding of who God is deepens—and so does your love for Him. That love begins to reshape your life, aligning your habits, relationships, and purpose with His. The natural result? A growing desire to love others and live on mission.

re:generation

Wednesdays from 6:30 – 8:00 PM
starting September 9, 2026 


Re:generation helps us become more like Jesus through the vehicle of a 12-Step program. Key differences between re:generation and other recovery ministries include: daily lessons, emphasis on spiritual disciplines, integration with the church, and no separation based on struggle. This is deeper than 12 steps: it is learning biblical ways to grow and overcome destructive thoughts and habits. The cost of re:generation is $20 and includes the first book in the re:generation curriculum and light refreshments each week. If cost is a concern, please contact our re:generation coordinator using the email below. For details about the program and what to expect, click “More Info” below.

GriefShare

GriefShare will resume meeting in Spring 2027

After the funeral, when the cards and flowers have stopped coming, most of the people around you return to their normal lives. But your grief continues, and you feel alone. Often, friends and family want to help you, but don't know how. That's the reason for GriefShare. Our group is led by caring people who have experienced grief and have successfully rebuilt their lives. We understand how you feel because we've been in the same place. We will walk with you on the long path through grief toward healing and hope for the future. The cost of GriefShare is $25 and includes all program materials and light refreshments each week. If cost is a concern, please contact our GriefShare coordinator using the email below. For details about the program and what to expect, click “More Info” below.

Its Cool in the Furnace

Worship Family

Wednesdays – Choir and Orchestra Rehearsal | 6:00 - 7:30 PM

We have several opportunities for vocalists and instrumentalists wishing to serve in worship gatherings here at First Norfolk. Being a part of these groups requires a calling and commitment, as each is involved in weekly services as well as special events throughout the year. Each Sunday morning, a combination of these groups lead our church in worship, but no one group leads every week.
