Needle’s Eye Events
Join Us at Our Events!
At Needle’s Eye Ministries, events are a core part of our ministry and a great way to connect with others in the RVA community, whether you’re part of a cohort or just starting to explore what we’re all about.
We host monthly Faith & Work Lunches that are open to all and completely free — an easy, no-pressure way to meet others and learn more about our work. These lunches are a fantastic starting point, and you’re welcome to bring a coworker or friend, or come solo. We value connections and believe our community is central to everything we do!
Typically held on the first Friday of every month from 12 – 1 PM at 104 Berrington Court, we can’t wait to meet you or see you again! Your presence is what makes our community thrive.
Mark your calendars

On Juneteenth, Needle’s Eye invites you to join us in rejoicing in the “already” of what God has done in our world and marketplace, and praying into the many “not yet” places where we long to see His Kingdom come and His will to be done.
