            If you are still singing the winter blues, jazz up your mood with the sounds of the Antoinette Montague Quartet which will be performing at the next Jazz Vespers to be held at The Church-in-the-Gardens in Forest Hills Gardens, NY on April 12. The Quartet includes Antoinette Montague, Danny Mixon, Solomon Hicks, and Bobby Sanabria. Bill Gati will also be making a special appearance, along with his saxophone.  The Jazz Vespers had its debut last Spring with the uplifting music of Jimmy Heath and Jeb Patton, a dynamic duo, and has since become a seasonal favorite at The Church-in-the-Gardens.  Junior Mance, who once played with Dizzy Gillespie and was recently inducted into the International Jazz Hall of Fame, entertained us on our very own piano and dazzled us with his Quartet in the Fall. Christmastime, we were treated to the joyous harmonies of the Helen Sung Quartet.

            It is worth noting that all of these performances coincided with our 100th Anniversary celebrations in picturesque Forest Hills Gardens.  It is an exciting time for our Church and community so, if you missed any of these services, be sure to come to this next one and keep an eye out for future events.  Leave your blues at the door and walk into history with us as we celebrate God’s music once again along with a brief message from our new interim pastor, Ron Wilson, in our beautiful, historic Sanctuary located at 50 Ascan Avenue.  It will be a moment you won’t soon forget.

 

            The Vespers will be from 5:00 PM until 6:30 PM.  A $20 donation will be requested in the form of an offering to help offset costs but don’t let that deter you from coming if you cannot afford it, especially if you are a child, student or just experiencing financial hardship. Our desire is for all to be blessed so give what you can or just bring yourself and a friend.  Parking passes will be provided by the Church for those coming by car. Make sure you pick them up at the entranceway to the Church before you park so that you do not get booted.  Forest Hills Gardens is a private community.  We look forward to seeing you.
