Are you looking forward to Jazz Mass this Sunday? On June 7 at 10:00 AM we will have a service with a fusion of swing and choral music featuring music by Count Basie, Mary Lou Williams, and People’s Warden Nathan Hiltz. You’ll hear guitar, saxophone, bass, and percussion accompanying our incredible choir:⁠
⁠
Christopher Parnis on bass ⁠
Rebecca Hennessy on trumpet ⁠
Jake Koffman on saxophone ⁠
Joel Bracken on tenor saxophone ⁠
With Nathan Hiltz ⁠
⁠
We warmly invite children to join us! We will have a Music Garden at the colouring corner so that children and adults can try the musical instruments. It will be open 15 minutes before the Mass and 15 minutes after! At the start of the Mass there will be a Children Focus, and afterward the children can join us for a special Children’s Church (only for this Sunday).⁠
⁠
See you there!
