This week we will be finishing the last 40 years of Moses’ life with a focus on the promises and prophecies that were prominent during this time.  We will touch the plagues on Egypt and the subsequent release of the people as well as the crossing of the Red Sea and the reception of the Law at Mt. Sinai. 

Our church family has an opportunity to participate in the "Souper Bowl of Caring" project.  As friends & families nationwide gather together to participate in Super Bowl activities, there are many families who are food insecure & lack even a simple bowl of soup to nourish them.

Our church's Global Ministry Team is coordinating collecting food donations for our local Gospel Rescue Mission for the first 3 weeks of February. You can bring food items (cans of soup or other non-perishable items) and deposit them in the container located in the church foyer.  If you would like to make a monetary donation (either cash or check) please designate that it is for the Gospel Rescue Mission & put it in the donation box, or you can donate directly through lcgrm.org

Let's join together to help the less fortunate right here in Las Cruces.

No AWANA Club on Sunday. Join us for the Super Bowl Party at 4pm on the 8th instead.
See you next week from 5:15 - 7:30 PM here at EFC.

First EFC will host “Journey In God’s Faithfulness” with speaker Taylene Jacko. 
Through her story, Scripture and song, Taylene will encourage and challenge us to trust God’s faithfulness in our own journeys, no matter the terrain!
Friday, February 20 (6:30pm-8:00pm) and Saturday, February 21 (8:30am-2:00pm) 
Register by email: contact@efclascruces.org
Deadline for registration: February 15, 2026
Questions: See the Women's Ministry Table or call the First EFC office 575-522-7029
More Information will be available this Sunday at the Ministry Table.
