A JAZZ CHRISTMAS

Derel Monteith, David Hoffman, & WPC Jazz Ensemble

Program coming soon

This program has become a tradition at Westminster Church as part of the pre-Christmas celebration.

This year, Derel Monteith, Peoria’s celebrated jazz pianist leads the group in standards and carols of the season interspersed with scriptures and contemporary poetry of the season. Vocalist Jamika Welch joins the band to bring her special kind of Christmas joy. And a special appearance from David Hoffman.

Some of Central Illinois’ finest jazz musicians participate in this vibrant celebration of the Nativity.

Admission is free and we encourage you to bring family and friends.

“As a newcomer to Westminster,  I’ve found it to be a most welcoming fellowship.  I look forward to going to services and events and find the warmth of the congregation to be most helpful to a newcomer to the entire area.  I find sermons challenging … music beautiful and well prepared … and a dignity in the worship that is all too lacking in most Protestant congregations.  Mix this with an open atmosphere where it is OK to question and still be seen as a good Christian, and I know I’ve found one important ‘home’ in Central Illinois.”
