Events
Tuesday Morning Bible Study
This study group selects a book of the Bible, and then they read and discuss it a few verses or a chapter at a time. Space for silence is welcome, and there is no deadline to finish. Also, no prerequisites, and no homework! They meet most Tuesday mornings from 10:00 to 11:00am, in the BPC Library and on Zoom. All are welcome! For more information, contact Sherrie Brady via the church office (703-764-0456 or office@BurkePresChurch.org).
Rainbow
Rainbow is a mid-week program of fellowship and activities for children in kindergarten through grade 6. We gather most Wednesdays, October through April, for recreation/creative arts, music (children’s choirs), and a family-style meal. Through it all, and superseding any specific content, we seek to put into practice what it is to be the church and to treat one another as children of God. For more information about Rainbow or any of our children’s programs, please get in touch with Director…
“Nightingales” Bible Study Group
This lively and lovely group of ladies meets monthly on the third Thursday from 11:30am to 1:00pm. We currently meet via Zoom but are looking this year to offer hybrid connections, so that some may stay connected at home via Zoom and others may gather at our church. For our curriculum this year, we have decided to read a chapter a month in Hope – A User’s Manual, a book written by former BPC Associate Pastor Rev. MaryAnn McKibben Dana.…
AA Meeting
An Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) group meets at BPC on Thursdays from 8:30 to 9:30 pm. To access the meeting room, enter the building through a single side door, just around the corner from the main entrance. Walk straight through a large room (the main entrance doors will be on your left) to the East Wing classrooms. The group meets in a double room, E4/E5. For more information, visit the group’s meeting page on the Virginia Alcoholics Anonymous website.

If you’re interested in an “in person” version of Sunday Morning Scriptures, please check our weekly emails for adult Sunday School offerings, which often include an additional session of Sunday Morning Scriptures from 10:15-11:00am.

The indoor labyrinth will not be available on when the church building is closed for a holiday. In 2024, those dates are January 1, April 1, September 2, and December 30. Visitors to…

Good Friday Service
JOHN 13:31-38 | JOHN 18:1-11 | JOHN 18:12-18 | JOHN 18:19-27 | JOHN 19:1-30 On this Holy day, we are paying close attention to how Peter acts in Jesus’ final hours. So much happens in a short amount of time: Jesus predicts Peter’s denial, soldiers come and Peter draws his sword, Jesus is arrested and Peter denies him, Peter denies Jesus again and again and the cock crows, then Jesus is crucified and dies. Peter is prone to mess up,…
