Upcoming Events

Please join us for worship and Holy Communion every Sunday at 10 am - all are welcome! Masks and social distancing are required. Worship services will also be livestreamed and can be accessed here.  

Date: October 29, 2026

Time: 5:45-8:pm

Location: Blacksburg United Methodist Church, 111 Church St., Blacksburg.

What started as a goal of 50,000 meals has now grown to 60,000 meals! Through our partnership with United Way of Southwest Virginia, we will receive a 10% discount on every meal—allowing our volunteers to pack 10,000 additional meals for our community.

On October 29, we’re bringing together 200 volunteers for one incredible day of service—and we want you to be part of it!

Working side by side in a fast-paced assembly line, volunteers will pack 60,000 nutritious meals for children, seniors, and families experiencing housing insecurity. These fortified meals require only hot water to prepare and will be distributed through the Blacksburg Interfaith Food Pantry.

Come with your friends, family, coworkers, church, or community group and experience what can happen when people work together to turn compassion into action.

One day. 200 volunteers. 60,000 meals. An incredible community impact.

Volunteer spots are limited. Sign up today at bburgfoodpantry.galaxydigital.com.

Join us on Wednesday, November 11, 12:30pm in Fellowship Hall for a Lunch & Learn with Pastor Monica.  Our first Lunch & Learn topic is "What do we know about Jesus before he began his public ministry?" 

 We will meet once a month for an hour to break bread and discuss topics of interest related to Theology, Spirituality, & Lutheran Doctrine. If you have a suggested topic, let Pastor Monica know. 

No reading required: just bring your lunch, a beverage, and your curiosity! All are welcome!

Pastor Monica leads a Contemplative Prayer (centering prayer) Group every Wednesday from noon-12:30 in the Chapel.  

The Luther Forum meets Sunday mornings at 8:30am in the Lutheran Campus Center with material that uses contemporary stories as a way to reflect on how God might be speaking in our day.  The forum's current focus is Listening for God, Volume 1.  The book is composed of eight short stories by Flannery O'Connor, Alice Walker, Garrison Keillor, and others.  We will read and reflect on one story per week.  To ensure that everyone has a copy of the book it would be very helpful if interested persons would let Bill King know of their interest (luthercm@gmail.com).  All, including members of Luther Memorial and those from the community, are welcome.

 Our congregation celebrates our members' birthdays by having birthday fellowship several times a year. For 2026 we will be meeting on the second Sunday of the month using this schedule:

December 13: for December Birthdays only  

Volunteers bring in a variety of snacks to serve the congregation after the church service. We are in need of some new volunteers for these events. If you are able to help please let Marcia know: luther@lmlc.org. You can do this alone or with a group! The church has tea, coffee, & cocoa and plates, napkins, & cups. 

Come sing with us!  For upcoming choir dates, check the church calendar. If you have any questions or would like to join the fun, please email Amy!

Class is on break until August.  Check back for more details.

The Men's Bible Study meets on Friday mornings at 8 am via Microsoft Teams to study the Gospel reading designated by the Common Lectionary for the upcoming Sunday.   Please contact Bill King if you have any questions or to request the Microsoft Teams log in.
