MOOSE JAW — The Moose Jaw Christian Counselling Centre (MJCCC) is inviting the community to its third annual “Evening of Music” fundraiser, set for 6:30 p.m. at the Hillcrest Apostolic Church on Sunday, May 4.
The free event will feature performances by local talents including the Eros family, Dr. Volker Rininsland, and the Cornerstone Christian School Choir. A free-will offering will be collected to support the Centre’s mission of providing affordable counselling services to the community.
“We would just love to have everyone come out and celebrate these wonderful local musicians with us,” said Leona Reimer, administrative assistant at MJCCC.
The fundraiser supports MJCCC’s sliding scale fee structure, ensuring counselling services remain accessible for residents. Fees range from $45 to $130, depending on household income, making it more affordable than many private counselling options.
“We do these fundraisers to offset the sliding scale system where we can help people receive counselling,” Reimer explained. “It can be faith-based or non-faith-based, because the counsellors are very willing to help anyone who (asks) for help.”
The upcoming fundraiser will once again feature the Eros family, known for their harmonious vocals.
“The Eros family is an interesting family,” Reimer said. “They are from Moose Jaw, and they have a large family… Their vocals are so phenomenal, and they have awesome harmonies.
“They’re bringing a little bit more this year than other years,” she added, noting that nine family members are scheduled to sing. “They’re going to be doing five or six songs for us this year.”
Dr. Rininsland will bring what Reimer described as “a unique blend of folksy and humorous songs” to the stage, while the Cornerstone Christian School Choir will also stage a performance. One student, Izzy Adams, will sing a familiar piece along with the debut performance of an original song she wrote.
“We love to feature the Cornerstone Choir. We’ve had them three years in a row…,” she said. Providing more detail about Adams’ upcoming performance, Reimer said “this year, one of the students who is in the choir… will also be featured specifically… she’ll step out and sing a few (songs), and one of them is a song she wrote that she asked if she could (sing). We’re looking forward to hearing her do that.”
Attendees will also hear from MJCCC’s executive director, Dustin Funk, who will present more about the Centre’s work, accompanied by a slide presentation featuring each of the counsellors.
The MJCCC is a non-profit, board-run organization dedicated to enhancing the spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being of individuals and families in the community. Rooted in Biblical values, the Centre provides personal and family counselling services — both in person and by phone — on a wide range of issues including marriage, parenting, anxiety, depression, abuse, and more.
“We would just love to have everyone come out and celebrate these wonderful local musicians with us, enjoy the music, and see what the centre is all about,” Reimer concluded. “We’re pretty excited about our lineup and all the energy that’s coming.”
