Jazz Vespers (from Page 6) Usually we come up with a theme, which could be specific or broad.” Jazz Vespers services are open to ev- eryone, whatever their spiritual bent is. Children are welcome. McCoy sums it up: “It’s not so much a blending of tra- ditions, but coming at spirituality from a non-dogmatic point of view. It is defi- nitely a hallmark of this congregation over the years that many are drawn to it by a sense of community. They have in- cluded people who were maybe agnostic, even bordering on atheist, Jewish, Bud- dhists, but they have felt comfortable be- ing there as part of a group of people in- terested in spiritual values. Jazz Vespers is an extension of that.” First Presbyterian Church is located at 10 Academy St. in Cold Spring. For more information on Jazz Vespers visit the FPC website, presbychurchcoldspring. org or call 845-265-3220.
