Here’s what people are saying about Jazz Vespers:
“The Jazz Vespers service provided me with a reflective and pensive moment, finding meaning and purpose in myself, connecting more closely with God and others.” -Dahrl
“In a time of global distress and individual uneasiness, to say nothing of the pressures of “too many things to do and too little time”, the Vespers hour provided a quiet and healing retreat where life was reduced to thoughts of remembrance of the past, reassessment of the present and refreshment for the future.” -Gisela
The Greg Ritchie Trio (Jan 2024)
