Join us on Sunday, May 17 at 2:30 PM for Jazz Sanctuary: “Imagination – The Jazz of Head and Heart.”

Jazz Sanctuary is a unique, jazz-infused worship experience—blending live music, poetry, and spiritual reflection in a relaxed, welcoming setting. It’s a space where contemplation (the head) and creativity (the heart) come together in meaningful harmony.

This month’s gathering draws inspiration from the work of John O'Donohue, the beloved Irish poet and philosopher known for his lyrical writing on imagination, beauty, and the inner life. Through his words, alongside scripture, we’ll explore how imagination can open us to deeper connection and spiritual insight.

Enjoy live music from the Jazz Sanctuary House Band, with vocals by Pastor Emilia Halstead and Rev. Reneé Rouse, featuring a mix of jazz and popular favorites that echo the day’s theme.

Discover the “sweet spot” where reflection and music meet—guided by the Holy Spirit.

All are welcome.
