We are looking forward to returning with Marcus Mosely to Northwoods United Church for their February 2nd Jazz Vespers! Here is the info from Northwoods:

We are delighted to welcome back, Gospel singer Marcus Mosely. https://www.marcusmoselymusic.com/ Marcus grew up immersed in the music and culture of the Gospel tradition.  He moved to Vancouver in 1985 and became a Canadian citizen in 2008. In 2016, he was inducted into the B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame.

Marcus is joined by the Wild Blue Herons. https://www.wildblueherons.com/  They are a magnetic husband-and-wife duo of Bill Sample (piano/keys) and Darlene Cooper (vocals). They embrace a broad sound from groove oriented jazz with a pop/gospel twist (reminiscent of Joe Sample and Lalah Hathaway) to intimate ballads by the great ladies of jazz.

Please attend, bring a friend, and share within your networks (there is an attached PDF if that is helpful) 

Jazz Vespers in the Valley starts at 3:30pm.

Typically, our services last for an hour, and in Northwood fashion, we offer a time of conversation over home baked goods prior to Vespers. 

The Jazz Vespers service provides a time where jazz meets the Spirit in a time of reflection and prayer. The suggested donation is $10, or pay-what-you can.
