Willow Grove Church to Hold Mardi Gras Jazz Worship Service
On Feb. 10 Willow Grove Church will hold the 7th annual Mardi Gras Jazz Worship Service.
The following information was provided by Willow Grove Presbyterian Church. On Sunday, February 10, we invite the community to our seventh annual Willow Grove Presbyterian Church Mardi Gras Jazz Worship Service beginning at 10:00 am at the church in Scotch Plains. A delicious brunch will follow the service. Willow Grove Church's Pastor, The Rev. Cynthia Cochran-Carney, gives perspective on the celebration.

Listen to and sing a variety of jazz gospel pieces…
