Blues Sunday - 8/24/2025

Sunday filled with heart, soul, and the blues you don’t want to miss! On August 24th, we're bringing the iconic Blues Sunday to life once again to our 10am worship service. The legacy of Jeff VanGilder’s brainchild continues, and we’re excited to keep the spirit of his vision alive with a day of music that’s sure to have you tapping your feet and clapping your hands. What is in Blues Sunday??

This special Sunday is all about blues-inspired music, and we’ll be serving up a mix of solos, group works, deep basslines, and tunes that’ll have you feeling the joy and the groove all at once from so many talented folk that live among us in the congregation here at Fauntleroy UCC!

Blues Sunday 8/27

We hope you will join us for Blues Sunday during our 10am worship service on August 27. Blues Sunday is a worship service wrapped in the music of the blues and gospel repertoire.  Blues Sunday became incredibly popular during the pre-pandemic years as we sang the blues to a packed house in August!  This year we are featuring music by Patty Griffin, Nina Simone, Shawn Mullin & Mercyland, and Zach Williams, to name a few, as well as a new original song by Jeff VanGilder, and Bronwyn Edwards’ original song “Circle of Love.” Soloists include Lucian and Allie Smith, Sarah Ackers, Jeff VanGilder, Jenny Mandt, Robb Menaul, and Delia Finney. Worship will be supported by a 20-voice choir and lots of guitars.  Mark your calendars and let’s all sing the blues and bring the house down.
