Jazz Vespers
Vespers, a form of Evening Prayer, has its roots in the evening prayers of ancient Israel. Lucernarium (literally: lamp lighting time) was another name of these periods of devotion which began at the rising of the evening star with a blessing prayer.
The Interfaith nature of the Jazz Vespers format incorporates readings from all three Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The Book of Common Worship, however, preserves the liturgy in a way that is faithful to our heritage in the Reformed tradition and open to ongoing reformation according to the Word of God.
Jazz Vespers emerges as a synthesis of traditions, a blending of an age-old liturgy with the unique musical tradition sounds the hopes, dreams, joys, frustrations and pain that expresses human experience, while exploring a musical vocabulary that transcends the limits of the written or spoken word.

Help me to avoid every sin
Thanks to Thee, O God, that I have risen today, To the rising of this life itself; may it be to Thine own glory, O God of every gift, and to the glory, aid Thou my soul. With the aiding of Thine own mercy, even as I clothe my body with wool, cover Thou my soul with the shadow of Thy wing. Help me to avoid every sin, and the source of every sin to forsake, and as the mist scatters on the crest of the hills, may each ill haze clear from my soul, O God.
