Jazz Sunday; Ash Wed at Franklin Federated

Franklin Federated Church will offer two very different opportunities to mark the beginning of Lent: a Jazz Worship service on Sunday, March 2, at 10 AM at the church and a simple, brief service on Ash Wednesday, March 5, at 7:30 PM.

The Jazz Worship service will feature the Willie Sordillo Quartet featuring Willie Sordillo on alto saxophone. Mr. Sordillo has performed in concerts and festivals throughout North America and internationally, and has served as music director for a weekly jazz worship service at Old South Church in Boston since 2005. He will be accompanied by David Harris on tuba and trombone, Chris Bakriges on piano and Dave Dubinsky on trumpet and flugelhorn.

The Jazz Worship service will be followed by a Mardi Gras Pancake Brunch featuring pancakes with choice of mix-ins, sausages, home fries, juice and coffee.There will be Mardi Gras mask making, pancake races and jazz music. The cost for brunch is $3 per person or $10 per family.

Nursery care is provided during Sunday worship. Children in preschool through grade 6 begin worship with their families - children's activity kits are available for use during worship. Partly through the service, they move to Sunday School, where the Godly Play curriculum uses a storytelling approach. Middle school pupils stay in worship for the message, then gather for discussion.

The Ash Wednesday service, to be held in the church parlor, will be an opportunity to begin Lent in a prayerful and reflective way. There will be music, a short message and communion. There will also be an opportunity to voluntarily receive an imposition of ashes.

No matter who you are, or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome at Franklin Federated Church. There is a ramp for the disabled on the left side of the church, large-print bulletins, and hearing-assist devices available. For more information, visit www.franklinfederated.org or find us on Facebook.
