The Eno River Unitarian Universalist Fellowship welcomes
jazz vocalist Myk'l Hanna and friends
who inspire a setting for reflection
and the practice of Presence,
of grace, of peace.

You are especially invited to join us
for a Jazz Vespers service that
calls you into sacred rest, community, and contemplation
through poetry, prose, and song.

Reverend Jacqueline Brett, Lead Minister

All are welcome.

 

What is Vespers?

Vespers is an ancient Christian tradition of Evening Prayer, consisting of psalms, hymns, chants, prayers, and readings from the scriptures. Today, many different spiritual communities have embraced vespers and will often include contemporary innovations such as congregational singing, readings from a variety of texts, poetry, silent meditation, or contemplation. With Jazz Vespers, an ethos of freedom and conscious choice provides a spiritual opportunity to hold improvisation as a metaphor for what it means to live in community.
