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.  Starring the soulful Antoinette
Montague, fellow musical artists Danny Mixon, Solomon Hicks, and Bobby Sanabria
round out the quartet.  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.  International Jazz Hall of Famer Junior Mance,
who was once a member of Dizzy Gillespie’s band, 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. 

 

            An interesting
backdrop to these exciting performances is the fact that they all coincided
with our 100th Anniversary celebrations in picturesque Forest Hills
Gardens.  It is a memorable 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, C. Ronald 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.
