Ever feel like you're just going through the motions - busy, distracted but unsure what your life is really for?

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.
For Questions email: regeneration@firstnorfolk.org



Merge

MERGE

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

Healthy marriages start long before the wedding. Couples who participate in pre-marital counseling experience an increase in marital fulfillment over those who do not. Merge prepares seriously dating and engaged couples for marriage by addressing common challenges from a biblical perspective. Whether you go to First Norfolk, attend another church, or don't go to church at all, you are welcome to attend.

GriefShare

Wednesday evenings, starting September 9, 2026
6:00-8:00 PM | Room 300
Group facilitators: Steve and Jeanette Stallings
Book cost: Free!

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.
