Jazz Vespers

"Vespers" comes from the Greek word "hespera," meaning evening, and vespers is a service of evening prayer and reflection at the close of day. About every other month, our church offers a service of Jazz Vespers: evening prayer combined with the spontaneity and discovery of jazz. This service includes readings from scripture and poetry, and reflections from creative thinkers both from our church and the wider community. We also include times for prayer and contemplation.  

Our hope and desire in offering Jazz Vespers is to provide an opportunity for contemplation and community at a different time, and in a different style, from our traditional Sunday worship. The musicians for this service are part of the California Jazz Arts Society.

Our next Vespers service is June 30, 6:00 PM.

Jazz Vespers

This month our warm summer nights will allow us to experience Jazz Vespers in our tree shaded Angell Courtyard. Our music and reflections will encourage us to contemplate the many meanings trees hold in our spiritual journey: home, abundance, and connection as well as barriers, entanglements and risks. Our roots keep us grounded; our branches stretch us beyond our limits.
