A perfect Author\, He began this divine story with a breath\, speaking all of heaven\, earth\, and space into existence. Light pierced a dark nothingness\, and a garden bloomed from the chaotic deep. It was good. Out of an overflow of love\, God formed man and woman as caretakers and image-bearers and walked in perfect communion with them. But it wasn’t long before one antagonist and one act of disobedience corrupted God’s good creation\, triggering a downward spiral toward death and destruction. \nThis did not surprise the Creator. In His infinite sovereignty and omniscience\, He had a master metanarrative in mind—one that begins in a garden and ends in a garden\, weaving through the faith of fallen men and women\, climaxing at Calvary\, and is still being written today. No\, this familiar story of creation and separation was not a surprise. It was merely the first glimpse into the dawning of the divine story. \nIn this study of Genesis\, follow the “Dawning of the Divine Story” as we walk through creation\, covenants\, and all the stories of God’s grace in between\, watching the gospel bloom through God and His chosen people.

At this 13-week\, video-based support group program\, you’ll find helpful counsel to manage the emotional turmoil and practical tools for decision-making. It is a warm\, caring environment led by people who understand the challenges and pain you are going through. \nWhen everything feels chaotic\, DivorceCare’s structured approach provides stability.

Each group is built around three main parts that work together to provide the most effective healing experience: video\, group discussion\, and a participant book for practical application. \nIt’s comforting to know you’re not alone and that you’re going to be okay. Through the videos and small-group discussion time\, you’ll hear from people who have felt there’s nothing left to look forward to—and now they have found encouragement and gained hope for the future. They’ll help you do the same. \n  \nThe Fall 2024 semester of DivorceCare will meet Wednesdays from 6:30–8pm\, starting Wednesday\, September 11–December 11\, in Horner Family Center\, floor 7\, room 702.

Many individuals have survived the trauma of sexual abuse. Most often the abuse occurred at the hands of someone in a trusted position. Sadly\, the devastating effects will continue throughout every stage of the survivor’s life until it is appropriately addressed and dealt with. \nThe survivor’s perception of themselves\, others\, God\, and life\, in general\, is severely distorted. However\, God desires to heal the emotional wounds related to the abuse so you may experience life with meaning and purpose as He intended. Healing\, freedom\, and truth is available through His Son\, Jesus Christ. \nDon’t suffer in silence any longer. Help and resources are available. This group offers survivors of sexual abuse a safe place to experience hope and healing\, deliverance and wholeness (spirit\, soul & body). It will empower participants to realize that they are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ rather than victims of their past. \nCourse Objectives Survivors of sexual abuse will come to realize there is hope and healing from the past as they examine the: \n• false beliefs about the abuse \n• overwhelming effects of abuse on their life \n• process of grieving the pain of sexual abuse and of learning to let go of the past \n• process of reclaiming trust\, control\, and intimacy \n• road to recovery through the Word of God \n• healing path with God’s help\, from victim to survivor to an overcomer through Jesus Christ. \n  \nThe Fall 2024 semester of Shelter From The Storm will meet as a VIRTUAL GROUP on Wednesdays from 6:30–8pm\, starting Wednesday\, September 11–December 11. No registration fee. \nParticipants will purchase their workbooks from Amazon before the first night of the VIRTUAL GROUP. \nREGISTER HERE\n  \nFor more information contact: Pathways Christian Counseling 214.969.2456 or counseling@firstdallas.org URL:https://firstdallas.org/event/shelter-from-the-storm/2024-09-25/ CATEGORIES:Women ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://firstdallas.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Shelter_Storm_Fall2024_h.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240925T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240925T200000 DTSTAMP:20260403T161724 CREATED:20210915T185449Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240815T183355Z UID:30973-1727289000-1727294400@firstdallas.org SUMMARY:Christian Survivors of Suicide Loss DESCRIPTION:This is an ongoing\, year-round support group for those who have been affected by suicide\, including family members\, survivors themselves\, and those struggling with thoughts of suicide.

Many individuals have survived the trauma of sexual abuse. Most often the abuse occurred at the hands of someone in a trusted position. Sadly\, the devastating effects will continue throughout every stage of the survivor’s life until it is appropriately addressed and dealt with. \nThe survivor’s perception of themselves\, others\, God\, and life\, in general\, is severely distorted. However\, God desires to heal the emotional wounds related to the abuse so you may experience life with meaning and purpose as He intended. Healing\, freedom\, and truth is available through His Son\, Jesus Christ. \nDon’t suffer in silence any longer. Help and resources are available. This group offers survivors of sexual abuse a safe place to experience hope and healing\, deliverance and wholeness (spirit\, soul & body). It will empower participants to realize that they are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ rather than victims of their past. \nCourse Objectives Survivors of sexual abuse will come to realize there is hope and healing from the past as they examine the: \n• false beliefs about the abuse \n• overwhelming effects of abuse on their life \n• process of grieving the pain of sexual abuse and of learning to let go of the past \n• process of reclaiming trust\, control\, and intimacy \n• road to recovery through the Word of God \n• healing path with God’s help\, from victim to survivor to an overcomer through Jesus Christ. \n  \nThe Fall 2024 semester of Shelter From The Storm will meet as a VIRTUAL GROUP on Wednesdays from 6:30–8pm\, starting Wednesday\, September 11–December 11. No registration fee. \nParticipants will purchase their workbooks from Amazon before the first night of the VIRTUAL GROUP. \nREGISTER HERE\n  \nFor more information contact: Pathways Christian Counseling 214.969.2456 or counseling@firstdallas.org URL:https://firstdallas.org/event/shelter-from-the-storm/2024-10-02/ CATEGORIES:Women ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://firstdallas.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Shelter_Storm_Fall2024_h.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20241002T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20241002T200000 DTSTAMP:20260403T161724 CREATED:20220802T131655Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260219T221425Z UID:36342-1727893800-1727899200@firstdallas.org SUMMARY:Pray Worship Pray - Wednesday Night Prayer DESCRIPTION:Join other First Baptist Dallas women for a time of prayer for our church\, families\, nation\, and our spiritual walk.

Join us each week on Tuesdays at 10:15am in Wicker Gym\, Wednesdays at 6:30pm in Lovvorn Hall\, or Sundays at 5:30pm in HFC 716 for a powerful lesson from our Teaching Team\, interactive Bible study\, discipleship\, mentoring\, fellowship\, and fun! \nWe want to invite women of all ages from all walks of life: young or old\, married or single\, with or without children\, new to the Christian life or those who have been Christians for many years\, Bible experts and those who are just beginning to explore the Bible. When you come to WBS\, you will find a welcoming atmosphere and will learn that other women have similar joys and struggles to share; we will study a passage together and recognize there is truth to impact our lives. Because our focus is God’s Word\, you can be certain that you will grow in your faith and you will become a woman who knows the Lord in a deeper way—and that will impact all your relationships. Come and gather around the table\, get to know women who live in your area of town\, study alongside a woman with similar interests\, meet a new friend\, and expect to be loved and encouraged! \nBible Study Registration: \nREGISTER HERE\nWatch Bible Study: \nWATCH HERE\n  \nChildcare Registration: \nPLAY & LEARN TUESDAY (BABIES–PRE-K)\nPLAY & LEARN WEDNESDAY (BABIES–PRE-K)\nFIRST AT HOME (K–6TH GRADE)\n  \nAWANA Registration: \nAWANA (AGE 2–6TH GRADE)\n  \nMore About Dawning of the Divine Story \nFrom eternity past\, the omnipotent\, triune Creator God had a wonderful story written through time and space. A perfect Author\, He began this divine story with a breath\, speaking all of heaven\, earth\, and space into existence. Light pierced a dark nothingness\, and a garden bloomed from the chaotic deep. It was good. Out of an overflow of love\, God formed man and woman as caretakers and image-bearers and walked in perfect communion with them. But it wasn’t long before one antagonist and one act of disobedience corrupted God’s good creation\, triggering a downward spiral toward death and destruction. \nThis did not surprise the Creator. In His infinite sovereignty and omniscience\, He had a master metanarrative in mind—one that begins in a garden and ends in a garden\, weaving through the faith of fallen men and women\, climaxing at Calvary\, and is still being written today. No\, this familiar story of creation and separation was not a surprise. It was merely the first glimpse into the dawning of the divine story. \nIn this study of Genesis\, follow the “Dawning of the Divine Story” as we walk through creation\, covenants\, and all the stories of God’s grace in between\, watching the gospel bloom through God and His chosen people.

Many individuals have survived the trauma of sexual abuse. Most often the abuse occurred at the hands of someone in a trusted position. Sadly\, the devastating effects will continue throughout every stage of the survivor’s life until it is appropriately addressed and dealt with. \nThe survivor’s perception of themselves\, others\, God\, and life\, in general\, is severely distorted. However\, God desires to heal the emotional wounds related to the abuse so you may experience life with meaning and purpose as He intended. Healing\, freedom\, and truth is available through His Son\, Jesus Christ. \nDon’t suffer in silence any longer. Help and resources are available. This group offers survivors of sexual abuse a safe place to experience hope and healing\, deliverance and wholeness (spirit\, soul & body). It will empower participants to realize that they are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ rather than victims of their past. \nCourse Objectives Survivors of sexual abuse will come to realize there is hope and healing from the past as they examine the: \n• false beliefs about the abuse \n• overwhelming effects of abuse on their life \n• process of grieving the pain of sexual abuse and of learning to let go of the past \n• process of reclaiming trust\, control\, and intimacy \n• road to recovery through the Word of God \n• healing path with God’s help\, from victim to survivor to an overcomer through Jesus Christ. \n  \nThe Fall 2024 semester of Shelter From The Storm will meet as a VIRTUAL GROUP on Wednesdays from 6:30–8pm\, starting Wednesday\, September 11–December 11. No registration fee. \nParticipants will purchase their workbooks from Amazon before the first night of the VIRTUAL GROUP. \nREGISTER HERE\n  \nFor more information contact: Pathways Christian Counseling 214.969.2456 or counseling@firstdallas.org URL:https://firstdallas.org/event/shelter-from-the-storm/2024-10-09/ CATEGORIES:Women ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://firstdallas.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Shelter_Storm_Fall2024_h.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20241009T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20241009T200000 DTSTAMP:20260403T161724 CREATED:20210915T185449Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240815T183356Z UID:30974-1728498600-1728504000@firstdallas.org SUMMARY:Christian Survivors of Suicide Loss DESCRIPTION:This is an ongoing\, year-round support group for those who have been affected by suicide\, including family members\, survivors themselves\, and those struggling with thoughts of suicide.
