JAZZ IN JUNE AT WEST MARKET STREET

TUESDAYS IN JUNE @ NOON
June 19 and 26    12-1 PM
WEST MARKET CHURCH, GREENSBORO

If you’re going to be in Greensboro in June, consider including the Tuesday lunchtime Jazz in June Worship Services in your plans. This longstanding summer tradition at West Market Church offers a 30-minute lunchtime worship service mid-day, early mid-week. The worship liturgy is familiar and includes a brief meditation led by the pastor, often with the musical support of the instrumental trio. The chancel choir and trio also lead those who are gathered in well-loved hymns, in very singable, original arrangements that appeal across generations. The services are held in the Leak Chapel at West Market, which is entered from the side street, John Wesley Way.

THANK YOU, FRAN COOK.

We wish to acknowledge Fran Cook for her service as a receptionist for Memorial. Fran recently “retired” as receptionist, after many years of dedicated volunteer service in this role. The church and receptionist coordinators extend our sincere thanks to Fran for her generous assistance through the years.
