Picking Up the Pieces After East Texas Twisters

Just One Way Our Early Response Teams Help Others Face Disaster

On April 29, a typical Saturday in East Texas was turned upside down by the end of the night. The first and last dance moves at the Edgewood High School prom were duck and cover, and one woman took an emergency exit toward shelter on her drive home from a friend’s baby shower. Read more.

Journey of Dementia

Bring your lunch at 11:30 am — or dinner at 5:30 pm — and we’ll watch together this informative and entertaining DVD featuring international dementia care pioneer Teepa Snow.

Thank You for the Hero Training

Nancy Fisher

This week our church is full of young heroes – all ages, all sizes. One thing that they have in common is that they are finding their strength and secret powers through God! I don’t know about you but I feel really, really good about having these heroes-in-training around First Church. Read more.

Not Throwing Away Her Shot

Charme Robarts
