Family Life Services Hosts “Heritage of Hope Art Show and Reception”

Family Life Services (FLS) a ministry that has served this community for 67 years, is hosting a fundraiser, the “Heritage of Hope Art Show and Reception," on Nov. 20, 2009, 7-9 p.m. at the Fine Arts Center located at 30 West Dale St. in Colorado Springs.

“This event will be a wonderful opportunity to showcase local artists," says Julie Abel, executive director of FLS. “It will also create awareness for a local organization doing relevant work for families in our community who are in need, especially during these difficult times.”

Art that will be featured at the event includes photography, sculptures, paintings and signed books written by local artists. FLS will have a silent auction, a live auction and also sell art donated by partners and friends of the ministry. There truly will be something for everyone. Children who live at FLS will also have submissions in the show.

FLS is the longest operating family ministry in Colorado Springs. It is a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving single mothers and their children in southern Colorado by providing a residential program that offers low-fee housing and ongoing counseling for up to two years.

FLS helps move these families from “on the edge” survival to emotional and financial stability. The ministry also provides counseling services to individuals and families on a sliding scale rate.

Tickets can be purchased for a $20 suggested donation by going online at www.flscs.org or by calling (719) 632-4661.
