Jazz Service
September 22 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Free
On an early morning at the end of August 1954 as people bustled along Bloor Street at Huron Avenue, they saw smoke pouring out from the familiar presence of Bloor Street United Church.
Within 15 months, Bloor Street re-opened with a new building that better suited the new day for faithful community in downtown Toronto.
On September 22nd, 2024 we will mark 70 years of resilience and courageous spirit and presence, as Bloor Street United again rebuilds and renews!
We’re doing this with a Jazz Service, because Jazz is the soundtrack of the resilience of human dignity and worth. It’s the collaborative and renewing music of justice and hope. It’s improvisation and melody, rhythm and beat. Jazz is alive!
Join us as Bloor Street United rises up once again, with music, and spirit, for The Jazz Service, Sunday, September 22nd at 2:00 p.m. at St. Matthew’s United Church, 729 St. Clair Avenue West. It will be led by Revs. Douglas duCharme (from Bloor Street United Church) and Brian Fraser (Brentwood Presbyterian Church and lead provocateur of Jazzthink Consulting). Music will be led by Mikey Zahorak, and we will have a range of musicians offering musical gifts.
Free to attend. All welcome!
