Sunday Service with Reverend Rod and special music by Vince Di Mura

Come join us Sunday mornings for an enlightening message from Reverend Rod, engaging children's activities, and special music with a variety of guest soloists! Childcare is available each Sunday from 9:45am to 11:45am. Please stay after service and join us for coffee and fellowship in the courtyard.

Neighborhood Congregational Church will offer a treat of Special Music on Sunday, July 9 with guest composer, arranger, Jazz pianist and musical director, Vince di Mura.  He has appeared on concert stages and theaters throughout North America, Canada, Europe and Latin America.  He currently serves as the Resident Composer and Musical Director for the Lewis Center of the Arts at Princeton University, and has produced five CD’s.  He holds composition and jazz fellowships from the William Goldman foundation, Temple University, Meet the Composer, New Jersey State Council on the Arts, the Puffin Cultural Forum and the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation.

Inspired by churches and ashrams visited during his first concert tour and residency in Italy, Vince will perform pieces from Meditations on the Sacred Heart. “Music is the voice I choose to seek God. Yes I pray and worship, but it is art in all its forms that is the voice for me. I have always been interested in the ways in which cultures and tribes seek to understand the divine. Strangely, we all come to roughly the same conclusions. The Meditations are comments on those 'conclusions.' The Meditations I play today deal with the universal grace, the universal awe, and the universal power of the divine heart. The heart that is speaking to every single soul if the ear is open and the heart sincere. My hope today is that this music speaks and says to one and all that God is good.' Join us!
