The Parish Family Blog: Right to Life Benefit

April 27, 2009

This event took place a few months ago, but I wanted to recognize it anyway. Raylene Werzinski organized a successful benefit concert and silent auction to support two organizations: Right to Life and the Pregnancy Care Center. Included in the concert were prefomances by the PSCA Girl's Ensemble, Max, Jenny, and Simon, (I just realized I don't have a picture of them!) Simon and Conner, and a beautiful rendition of "It is Well" from the Werzinski family singers. Along with the concert, many contributed to the silent auction, filling up the tables with a variety of choices. This was a special evening, and God truly blessed it financially.

Jonathan Keller represented Fresno Right to Life. His informative talk let us know how the ministry is doing, and opportunities to help.

Raylene had also organized a representive from the Pregnancy Care Center to come inform the audience about the mission of FPCC, the wonderful way they have impacted the community, and the great things God has done through their ministry. We were so thankful for this education, and praise God for the work both of these organizations are doing to preserve and protect life. (Please excuse this picture -I know the microphone is covering her mouth, but it was the only one I had.)

The PSCA Girl's Ensemble filled the church with song, their voices blending beautifully.

Here are the Werzinski children harmonizing on "It is Well".

Mr. Werzinski kept us all smiling with his introductions. :-)

We discovered the beauty of violin and guitar in this stunning husband-wife preformance.

The silent auction gave us all an opportunity to get to know each other in a new way. :-) Friendly threats and banter flew across the bidding table as we circled round and round.
