Enjoy a sweet treat and hear uplifting Christian music of singer-songwriter Jason Gray next weekend, all while supporting the Plus One Pregnancy Center in Huron.

The annual Snowflakes and Sweets fundraiser for Plus One featuring Gray is 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 10, at James Valley Christian School, 1550 Dakota Ave. N.

Sweet treat boxes will be given to the first 600 tickets sold. Doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets are available at local churches and Dakotaland Federal Credit Union.

Gray was raised in southwestern Minnesota, moving to Nashville in 2015. He has a speech disorder; as a person who stutters, he emphasizes the theme of finding strength in weakness.

He spent six years in youth ministry before going into full-time music ministry in 1999 as an independent artist. He released his first major-label record, “All the Lovely Losers,” in 2007.

He’s received awards for popular songs like “Remind Me Who I Am,” and “Sparrows,” leading to his first chart-topping single, “Nothing is Wasted.”

Available Programs:
• Pregnant U! Program includes classes on fetal development, prenatal care for pregnant women, what to expect during labor and delivery. Clients earn points for attending the weekly classes; which can be spent on a variety of items in both the maternity and baby boutiques.  
• Empower U! Program includes classes on infant care, breastfeeding, bonding with baby, safety measures for home, post-partum care for mom, parenting skills, and early childhood development.
 • Healthy U! Program is designed to teach sexual integrity by providing information on making healthy emotional, mental, physical and spiritual decisions. The goal is to help young people make the decisions that will allow them to have healthy relationships.

The Center offers clients an “earn while you learn” option. This means clients earn points for attending sessions, completing homework, keeping doctor appointments, meeting with community assistance agencies, and attending school if the client is school age. The points they earn can be used to purchase clothes and supplies from the popular maternity and baby boutiques.

Along with free pregnancy tests and the classes, the Center offers peer counseling.

Churches in the six-county area help support the center, as well as many local agencies, businesses and individuals.

You can help:
Along with volunteers, the center can also use insulated tumblers for moms, Avent baby bottles, baby grooming kits, baby clothes, lotion, diapers, baby wet wipes, bottled water, printer paper, canned Minute Maid Lemonade and self-seal business envelopes.
