BREPHOS TO HOST HEATHER RUESCH AT THE REIF CENTER
Singer/Songwriter Heather Ruesch will be the featured speaker and entertainer at Brephos Pregnancy Center's annual event



GRAND RAPIDS –On January 21, Heather Ruesch, a Christian singer/songwriter based out of Brainerd, MN, will perform at the Reif Center. In past years, Brephos Pregnancy Center has held a fundraiser banquet each January with dinner punctuated by a dynamic speaker. This year the Brephos annual event will be a different format as a performance rather than a banquet.

Heather is a singer and songwriter who seeks to use God's gift of music to tell others of His love and forgiveness. Her style is passionate and lively, melded to lyrics that are written from the soul. Samples of her music and more information on the artist are available at www.heatherruesch.com.

Brephos will be hosting Ruesch as a singer and speaker at the Reif Center on January 21 for a 7:30 program with social hour beginning at 6:00. Admission is a free will offering.
More information is available at 326-0404 or at www.brephos.org.
