“This jazz concert is a chance to celebrate the beauty of music and the goodness of the One who made it. Jazz has a way of reminding us that hope can rise out of brokenness and that beauty can flourish even in the midst of adversity. These are the things we talk about when we gather on Sundays, and you’d be welcome to join us then as well!”

Jon Anderson, Director
