press release: Stepping Stones

My friend Terri is organizing the concert in Courtenay this Friday. Below is a press release she wrote for their local newspaper, which will come out on Wednesday. I’m so honoured to be part of this (and another similar fundraiser in Victoria). On the wall of the Facebook invitation, Kim wrote, “We will be there!! Stepping Stones and all the staff saved my life I wouldn't miss it for the world :)
Love you guys!!!
” Powerful stuff…

Benefit Concert for Stepping Stones Recovery House for Women and Our “Prairie Soul” Guest

Colleen Taylor comes to the Comox Valley this Friday evening, March 26, at 7 p.m. to share her gift of music at a benefit concert for Stepping Stones Recovery House for Women. Colleen describes herself as “a prairie soul with a heart for the world”. She is the founder of Siretona Creative which is a publishing and production company that empowers women in the arts to build community among generations and nations (the name "Siretona" comes from the first two letters of each word in the phrase: sing release to nations). Colleen is doing a weekend tour of various venues on the Island and the Vancouver, with two concerts in support of women’s recovery centers. This Friday’s concert will be held at River Heights Church at 2201 Robert Lang Drive, Courtenay. Tickets are $10 at the door with proceeds going to Stepping Stones Recovery House (dessert and coffee/tea will also be available at an additional nominal cost).

Stepping Stones Recovery House is a non-profit, faith-based residential program for women who are in recovery from alcohol and substance dependence/abuse. This recovery house was birthed two years ago by a few local residents with a vision and heart to see women set free from the grip of addiction. Come enjoy an evening of song, passion and praise. Show your support and raise awareness for this wonderful ministry that reflects the heart of our awesome community.
