Jazz Brunch to benefit Florida Memorial University

Plymouth Congregational Church will be holding its 2020 Jazz Brunch on Sunday, March 15.  The annual event will feature jazz vocalist Brenda Alfred and saxophonist extraordinaire Jesse Jones, both award winning musicians and prominent members of the South Florida jazz scene.

The event will be held in Davis Hall at 11 am – right after 10 am worship.  All are invited to both the Jazz Brunch and worship.  

The Jazz Brunch is, in its ninth year celebrating Black History and Jazz, and this year donations will benefit Florida Memorial University’s Bahamian Relief Fund, a fund supporting students from the Bahamas in the wake of Hurricane Dorian.

In years past the event benefited the United Negro College Fund, but this year Plymouth chose to focus its fund-raising efforts on Florida Memorial University in Miami Gardens, an historically African-American university whose  Bahamian students have been hard hit by the effects of the hurricane.

Church member Henry Givens, who has been active in the Coconut Grove Community for over 40 years, and who has helped spearhead this event since its inception, says the Jazz Brunch is an important part of the fabric of our community. “It is such a great opportunity for the community to enjoy some amazing music and each other, all for a great cause," he said.

Plymouth Senior Pastor Al Bunis added, “Plymouth is honored to support Florida Memorial this year and we are grateful for all that the school is doing to help their students from the Bahamas in the wake of Dorian. Please join us for worship and the Jazz brunch.”  

Plymouth Congregational Church, which has been serving the Grove community since 1897, is located at 3400 Devon Road off of Main Highway.
