Celebrating 5,000 Medical Clients at FirstLook!

FirstLook has had the privilege of serving so many families in Ellis county, and we recently reached an exciting milestone in our medical services department: our 5,000th medical client!

To celebrate this special moment, a thoughtful and generous donor gifted the funds to provide a stroller and car seat travel system to this special family. What a beautiful way to welcome this growing family and remind them they are surrounded by love and support.

To our amazing Friends of FirstLook, thank you for making moments like this possible. Together, we're embracing life and helping families flourish - every day.

At the Embracing Life event, we’ll come together to celebrate this work and raise $300,000 to help FirstLook continue serving families with no-cost services in Ellis County.

This year’s Embracing Life theme comes from Matthew 9:36–38, reminding us of Christ’s compassion for people who are hurting and His call for us to join Him in the work of the harvest.

Every act of faith, compassion and generosity can plant a seed that bears fruit for generations.

We invite you to join FirstLook on October 27 as we celebrate what God is doing and look ahead to the lives and families still to be reached.

Join us this Sunday!

Calling all who are Pro-life!

The Annual Life Chains of Ellis County are coming up on Sunday, Oct. 4, 2026 at 2 p.m. Life Chains are one hour of silent Christian prayer and silent public witness to end abortion.
Two locations: Waxahachie and Ennis.
In Waxahachie, Downtown County Courthouse lawn at 2 p.m.
Park around the square.
In Ennis, front sidewalks of the Ennis Public Library at 2 p.m. Park behind the Library.
Not a rally, not a protest, JUST PRAYER!
Start mobilizing your family, friends, and church and community members to attend and pray together.
Abortion has not been ended. Abortion has spread its tentacles deeper and wider across our nation, into bedrooms and bathrooms where abortion pills are self-administered, and into states where surgical abortion is still legal.
The blood of the innocents is crying out. Will you hear them?
This year, we will hear the message "Abortion Hurts Women."
Please attend.
