Gospel PraiSing Fiesta! This Sunday, February 22, 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, at MAYAS Mexican restaurant, live Christian music featuring Colleen Reinhardt and I, and welcoming guests Kimberly Fix and Jennifer Braun.

Kim works full time at Dakota Community Bank. But a side that many may not know is that Kim LOVES to sing! Before coming to Bismarck, in high school, Kim began singing and playing flute with a small group at Nativity Church in Fargo. In Bismarck, Kim started singing with Jennifer at Corpus Christi in 2009. She says, “My absolute favorite memories singing are when it was me, Jen, and Colleen.” She adds, she still gets nervous singing in public, but somehow doesn’t feel that way when singing in church for Masses, funerals and weddings. She feels when the focus is on Jesus, not on her, she finds her confidence.

Jennifer has shared her gift of singing and directing choirs for church services, weddings, and funerals for over 20 years and has played flute in worship and local community bands. A member of the Bismarck Mandan Civic Chorus since 2007, she also maintains a private voice studio. Jennifer has been a guest a couple of times and was part of the Gospel PraiSing Ministries band that performed at the GPS Festival at the ND State Capitol Grounds last August.

Kim and Jen have some beautiful music chosen, including some Lent music, to honor this First Sunday of Lent. I look forward to some great four-part harmonies with Kim, Jen, and Colleen!

Gospel PraiSing Ministries is supporting North Dakota Adult & Teen Challenge with donations received from the January through April Fiestas.
