March 2025 - 1st Choice Pregnancy Resource Center Newsletter

From the Director – Ranell Bryant

Spring is finally here! The days are getting longer, and we’re all enjoying more daylight. While the transition of the clocks can be annoying, I love seeing everything bloom and come to life. It reminds me of the beauty in new beginnings—something we cherish at 1st Choice Pregnancy Resource Center. Life is ever-changing, and though pregnancy can be tough, we embrace the journey with hope. As Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”

Sanctity of Life Month

January was Sanctity of Life Month, and we had the privilege of speaking at three churches:


  • Church on the Rock
  • First Baptist Church Redwater
  • Ward’s Creek Missionary Baptist Church

We love sharing our mission and raising awareness about our center. 


It doesn’t have to be a special month for us to speak at your church! If you’d like us to come out and share, contact us at 903-792-5735.
