Community:
February is all about LOVE and Valentines Day, but at First Evan, it’s also Global Missions Conference month! We hope you have registered your kids for KMC (Kids Mission Conference) because it is one of the most FUN things we do with the kids all year. In addition to having fun, we will learn a LOT and get to meet missionaries who will be visiting us this year from their homes on the mission field in Africa.

Encouragement:
“Jesus Loves Me This I Know…” In his sermon last Sunday, Pastor Pace McKee reminded the congregation why we sing this song over and over with our children when he told the story of a man who remembered these precious words at his lowest point. The love of Christ is foundational to our deliverance. It is the echo that reminds us to whom we belong when we are distracted by other loves. It is the song that tenderly calls us out of our darkest pit.
As I prepare for KMC & study over our passage for this year (Matthew 16:13-20), I am reminded of the image of the rock. The passage has been debated throughout history by many, but the rock of our salvation is undebatable. We say with Peter, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God” and sing with our children, “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.” Yes- Jesus loves me. Therein lies rescue. Rest on the rock of our salvation & be blessed this month!
