Experience the transformative power of music and spirit at Jazz Vespers. Jazz Vespers is a contemplative, creative worship service that blends live jazz, poetry, scripture, and readings from secular sources, all thoughtfully curated around a theme that speaks to the soul.
October's theme is "Grace in the Dissonance" exploring how God meets us in tension, uncertainty and unresolved chords.
Come relax, reflect, and enjoy some tunes with us!
