Largest Baby Shower Being Held This Month


One of the most exciting parts of being a mom – especially a first-time mom is the baby shower and all of the fun things that are given for a mom’s precious newborn.

For some women though, especially teenagers who are in a crisis pregnancy, a baby shower is the furthest things from their minds.  Their first thoughts are whether or not they are even going to have the baby. Many of them feel alone and scared and feel there is no hope. This is where the FirstChoice Clinic comes in.

FirstChoice clinics are located in Bismarck, Fargo and Devils Lake, North Dakota. Upon making the decision to go to a FirstChoice clinic, women will have the following services offered to them:
  • Limited ultrasounds by trained nurses
  • Pregnancy testing and counseling
  • Financial assistance
  • Parenting programs
One of the parenting programs that FirstChoice Clinic offers is called Earn While You Learn. Women who go through this program at the clinic earn points which enables them to go shopping at the Family Boutique. The boutique is filled with new items such as diapers and changing items, feeding items, infant clothing, healthcare items and gift cards.

If you are interested in donating items to FirstChoice Clinic’s Family Boutique, the drop off sites for each community are:
  • Fargo – All Hornbacher’s grocery stores locations
  • Bismarck/Mandan – Cashwise Foods and MoeMoe's Garden Baby Boutique
  • Devils Lake – St. Josephs, Beth Evangelical Free and River of Life Churches 

Donations will be accepted all through the month of January. Participating in this event is a great way to celebrate January as the Sanctity of Human Life Month!

In Memory of Bishop Leroy Mckenzie

Image
ONE YEAR AGO, one of the greatest men I ever had the pleasure of knowing passed away. I found out on Facebook and almost had to leave work because I was so distraught. This was a man who was a spiritual father to many, a true leader in the community, a mentor to young men and a prayer warrior who genuinely loved God, the church and his flock. Last year, shortly after finding out about his death, I wrote the following tribute: In the year 2000 shortly after rededicating my life to Christ, I took the opportunity to move to Raleigh, North Carolina with my sister. Upon moving to the area, my first goal was to find a good church. I felt like I was just a baby in my Christian faith and wanted to find a place where I could grow and be spiritually fed. After attending a few churches in Raleigh, I was led to a church in Durham, North Carolina. And it was here at Faith Assembly Christian Center that I met the amazing Bishop Leroy McKenzie. Although it didn’t really make sense to...

Top Ten Things I Am Thankful for This Year

Image
Many of my facebook friends are doing a 30 Days of Thankfulness and post each day something they are thankful for. I love that they are doing this and it is fun reading people's thankful posts. Although I don't write my own thankful posts on facebook, it does cause me to think about the things for which I am thankful. While I didn't come up with 30, I do have a top ten list of things I have been especially thankful for this past year: 1. First and foremost I am thankful for my Christian faith that helped me through some very difficult and challenging days this past year. I don't know what I would do without Jesus in my life. As a child, I grew up in the church but for 8 long years, I wandered away from God, living a life of rebellion. I finally went back to Him in the year 2000 and that was the best decision I could have ever made! I will forever be grateful for those who were praying for me at that time in my life. 2. I am so very thankful for my amazing church f...
