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.
“Why am I a member of Westminster Presbyterian Church? Two words keep floating up in a rather persistent way – “home” and “family” – and I realized that it is an inescapable fact that is what this church means to me. During my 40 years here, so many life events have happened and Westminster has been there for me through all those times – good and bad. It has been my home and family. They say “home is where the heart is” and I’ve found the heart of Westminster to be as open and warm as a family’s!”
