What a special night. Held at the Clarke Theatre, in Mission, BC, this concert was a bit of a home-coming for me. Mission has been my home for 23 years and it was the first time to perform in the beautiful Clarke Theatre which seats several hundred people. It was a powerful night with a full band performing, a vibrant choir, and special guests. Brenda Janz opened the night with her story-telling songs. Doreen Kostynuik, 81, joined me for a special duet after being off the stage for 40 years!
Incredible band!

My passion in creating this event was to invite people to experience beauty and goodness. To end the night with people dancing and knowing so much joy was a deep fulfillment of my longing.
