Pastor J. Wesley Babian of First Baptist Church will speak briefly during the interlude of worship. Pastor Babian states, " The B'Jazz Vespers Ministry is a wonderful way to share God's music and God's word with the community." He continues, "Each month we invite friends and strangers alike into this house of worship to praise the wonders God continues to share with us."
