Jazz Vespers is a monthly gathering to enjoy an hour of great music along with poetry and prayers in the sacred space of our sanctuary.
Praise God with the piano, the saxophone, and the upright bass – Psalm 150 (paraphrased). Vespers is the traditional evening prayer service. Jazz Vespers is a modern form of this service that crosses denominational boundaries and demonstrates the unifying power of the Holy Spirit through the music of jazz.
Jazz Vespers services began at Knox Church in 2013 and has been blessed by many gifted Ottawa-based jazz musicians! Jazz Vespers at Knox are held from 7:00 to 8:00 pm, normally on the third Wednesday of each month, September through May.
