The Journey Dome announces the launch of an immersive Christian experience in Southlake, which will entertain, educate, and enlighten people of faith and people seeking clarity and guidance in life. Through state-of-the-art technology, The Journey allows the mind, body, and soul to journey through the stories and words of the Bible. Located at 3300 TW King Rd E, just east of State Highway 114, the 50-foot diameter dome offers an immersive experience surrounded by high-resolution video and high-fidelity sound. With a run time of approximately 40 minutes, the presentations are family-friendly and suitable for people of all ages.

The first production, “The Journey: In the Beginning”, covers the Creation, the Book of Jonah, and a Christian Reflection Prayer. Experience the days of Creation as God's Word breathed life into all we see and know. Experience the foundation of the consciousness God gave the world. Learn about the reluctant prophet, Jonah, who was called by God to serve. Participate in the Reflection Prayer, an immersive engagement for those who sense there is more to life than what we can see, touch, hear, smell, or taste. 

The second production currently running is “Immanuel: The Nativity.” Join an ancient traveler who seeks treasure only to be lost in a supernatural storm. Follow the supernova star that leads him to humble Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus Christ. “Immanuel: The Nativity” features immersion within ancient and contemporary oil paintings of the Annunciation, the Star of Bethlehem, and the Nativity.

Additional one-of-a-kind experiences are in development that visually embark on a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment.

“We have created an unforgettable experience, where people of all faiths can truly immerse themselves in the Word. The lessons in these stories are timeless. We are thrilled to open our first location in Southlake,” states co-creator Jamie Wiseman. “As we continue to grow and open new iconic locations around the country, The Journey will become an exciting place where faith can be clarified, strengthened, and enhanced in new ways by using technology.”

Tickets for both “The Journey: In the Beginning” and “Immanuel: The Nativity” can be purchased at JourneyDome.com. Show days and times vary, please check the website for the schedules. Adult prices are $25 per ticket. Kids ages 4-12 are $12.50 per ticket. Kids 3 and under are free and all parking is free. Private bookings for churches, schools, and associations with 30+ people are available by contacting corporatesales@feverup.com. All pastors and church leaders are invited to come preview the show and can secure their free ticket by contacting jamie@journeydome.com.

Random Bobbitt Provisions, a vintage retail shop located in Uptown, will celebrate its grand opening with a pop-up street fair on Sunday, October 24 from Noon to 5 p.m. Located at 3104 Fairmount Street in Dallas, the eclectic fun will include yummy eats from Easy Slider food truck, charcuterie delights from The Board Lady, live music from Alex Cantrell, and, of course, great vintage finds. Additional vintage vendors at the outdoor fair will include Olan Thrills, an artist who cleverly repurposes old photos; Brimm Design with their handmade custom hat creations; Our Lovely Abode and their handcrafted body products; collectibles from 1111 Design; and trendy clothing and accessories from Rush Salon & Boutique. The rain or shine event is free and open to the public to attend.

Random Bobbitt owners, Randy and Paula Sadler, share a passion for vintage. In 2020, they opened La Familia, a boutique that focuses on taking you back through time in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Now, the Sadlers are bringing their sense of style and culture deep to the heart of Texas with Random Bobbitt Provisions. With sincere consideration to Randy’s grandfather, this unique retailer doesn’t sit parallel to your average vintage antique shop. Constantly traveling the country in search of exciting, vintage relics, the owners of Random Bobbitt stock the shelves with collectibles and rare pieces from unusual décor and novelty souvenirs to defunct electronics and music equipment to clothing and jewelry to a custom fragrance. Patrons will love the curious, weird, strange and wonderful treasures from the past.

“I love looking back on things,” Mr. Sadler said. “I love keeping the memories of the past alive. Everything has a story.” Ms. Sadler echoes her husband’s sentiments and adds, “We’re always on the hunt for unique and collectible treasures and can’t wait to bring North Texas these finds.”

Random Bobbitt Provisions’ regular business hours are Sunday and Monday from Noon to 5 p.m. and Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit thatssorandom.store or call 214-918-2949.

With the ongoing unrest in Afghanistan and refugees arriving to the United States, it is important to provide life-changing humanitarian relief to those in need. Gateway Church, in collaboration with World Relief, will be collecting essential items for welcome kits for the Afghan refugees relocating to North Texas. The collections will be held on September 25–26 and October 2–3 at Gateway Church area locations.

In addition to dealing with housing and social resources challenges, refugees will face additional major hurdles. The welcome kits provide the basic household items that the Afghan refugees will need as they begin a new journey in the North Texas community. The items include essentials with six kit opportunities: hygiene, kitchen, household, bedroom, dining, and bathroom. By donating the welcome kits, this frees up World Relief finances to further help integrate Afghan families into the community.

There are two ways the community can get involved. First is a drop-off option, which allows people to purchase items and build their own kits. Then, deliver it to one of Gateway’s campuses in North Texas during weekend services on September 25­–26 or October 2–3. People are also invited to ship their kits to one of the Gateway campuses, marked to the attention of “Welcome Kits for Afghans.” For a list of kits and items per kit, visit gatewaypeople.com. The second option is to give toward a kit, which is a cash donation that goes toward the creation of welcome kits. To give, visit gatewaypeople.com

Since August 1, World Relief had received 409 Afghans with Special Immigrant Visas. Thirty-nine of those were welcomed by the North Texas office, along with seven other refugees resettled during that period. An estimated 90+ Afghans will be coming to the area within the next three to six weeks. These numbers are in addition to the approximately 350 refugees/asylees already anticipated to arrive in North Texas over the next nine months. Serving Afghan arrivals into the United States for more than a decade, starting in the next few weeks, World Relief anticipates receiving a much larger number of Afghans arriving throughout their network—as many as 7,000 or even more just in the coming months. World Relief is one of nine resettlement agencies involved nationwide.
