Jazz Vespers: A Contemporary Riff on an Ancient Prayer Service.
Returns for Autumn Worship September 18 at 6:00 p.m.
[Vero Beach, FL, August 24, 2022] — The Community Church of Vero Beach is excited for the return of Jazz Vespers on Sunday, September 18 at 6:00 p.m. in the Courtyard. (Weather Location: Community Hall) 1901 23rd Street, Vero Beach, FL 32960.
Jazz Vespers began in New York City in the 1960s as a concept worship service and outreach ministry. It was designed as a service of prayer and jazz for folks who couldn’t make it to Sunday morning services after playing late night gigs on Saturday night.
In this tradition, our jazz vespers service is an eclectic mix of prayer, spoken verse, ambient art, and live jazz. Through these elements, we walk through an ancient service of prayer (vespers) in a creative, informal, and multisensory way.
Jazz Vespers is a once monthly service with music provided by our resident jazz combo: Andrew Galuska on piano, vocalist Leti Metcalfe, Brian Slawson on drums and Gary Haase playing upright bass.
September 18 Vespers will welcome Rachel Carter Murphy as vocalist and feature Rev. David W. Johnson, Executive Minister of The Community Church of Vero Beach.
