Come To The Evangelical Association Convocation!
Eden Church is hosting the Evangelical Association (EA) Convocation this year. This is a great opportunity to see what the EA association means to you as a member of Eden Church. The other participants are traveling many miles to come here; we should be taking advantage of the opportunity to just drive a short distance to join them.
The convocation will be held the weekend of September 20-22. It will be a time of worship, workshops, and meals. The worship is always a great experience of enthusiastic singing and messages. You don’t want to miss it! The theme of the convocation is peacemaking. The workshops will be given mostly on peacemaking but other topics relevant to our church life. You know that Eden has lots of good cooks, so make sure you join the group for a meal or two. You can see some of our mission partners and hear about the great things they are doing to spread God’s Word worldwide.
Some of you have volunteered to help serve that weekend. Plan to stay and experience the EA organization. Go to the Eden Church website (https://www.edenchurch-edw.org/ea2024) to see the schedule, Volunteer to serve, and register to attend a full weekend of fellowship and meet fellow believers from other churches around the country. Any questions, contact Pam Heepke, at 618-920-6940 or fpheepke@aol.com.

Volunteer Needed for Worship Service Slides
If you enjoy the slides we use during our Sunday morning services, you’ll appreciate the effort and dedication that goes into creating them each week. We are immensely grateful to Tony Greco for his commitment to this task, but he is now stepping down from this responsibility.
We are seeking a new volunteer to take over this important role. If you have a knack for creating presentations and can commit to coming in once a week to build the slides for our Sunday services, we would love to hear from you.
Please contact Beth Clowers by email at bclowers@edenchurch-edw.org or by text at 225-772-8006 if you are interested or would like more information.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to serve our church community!
Summer Bible Study
Ladies, do you want to dig into God’s Word deeper this summer? We will meet every Tuesday at 10:30a here at the church for a 10-week study by Jen Wilkin. A Study going through the book of Hebrews. Here is a little description of it. In this 10-session verse-by-verse study of Hebrews from Jen Wilkin, learn how Christ is the substance of the shadowy truths the Old Testament records. Discover how He fulfills and completes the work of angels, prophets, priests, and ceremonial laws, establishing a better covenant. Written to those tempted to return to the familiar paths of dead ritual, Hebrews calls us to fix our gaze instead on the resurrected Christ as we run the race set before us. In Him alone, we have hope and salvation. He alone is the radiance of the glory of God. In Him alone, we have access to God the Father. He alone is better. If you want to attend please get in touch with Milinda Clowers at 618-610-6261 milindaclowers@gmail.com text, call, or email.
Thank you,
Milinda Clowers

Adult Sunday School Class – The Heidelberg Catechism
A catechism is a method of teaching where a teacher recites the question and the pupils respond with the prescribed answer. For centuries, the church has used catechisms as a tool to instruct students in the basic truths of the Bible. The Heidelberg Catechism, first published in 1563 in Heidelberg, Germany, has stood the test of time and is still one of the best tools available for learning what it means to be a Christian. Eden’s Adult Sunday School Class is studying the Heidelberg Catechism using a study guide authored by G.I. Williamson. This study guide will walk us through the Catechism questions, answers, and applicable scripture readings. Please join us on Sundays at 10:30 am in Classroom 1302/1303-B/C for this valuable study.

If you click on the above link, you can open a folder that contains hundreds of Doris Gvillo’s wonderful devotional articles that were published in the Edwardsville newspaper over many, many years. Her daughter Ruth brought me a box full of these articles and I will continue to scan these and add them to the folder. There are now hundreds of her devotional articles just waiting for you to read them and when you do thank our Father for giving her all this inspiration for us as they are each based on the Scriptures.

Wednesday Night Bible: The Book of Daniel
Eden’s Wednesday Night Adult Bible Study Group is studying The Book of Daniel. Old Testament prophet Daniel had the most incredible career imaginable. He was transported as a teenage captive to a pagan empire and became the primary confidante to the ruler of Babylon. When Babylonia was taken over by its enemies, Daniel rose to a high position in the Persian Empire. There are only two people in the Bible, other than Jesus Christ, of which no evil is spoken, Joseph and Daniel. The Book of Daniel is in two halves: the first six chapters are historical, which deal with the adventures and career of this remarkable man. The second six chapters are some of the most pivotal and important prophecies of the entire Bible. Through commentary, workbook and video, Dr Chuck Missler will guide us to a clear understanding of the book of Daniel which will help us understand the times in which we live. Our class meets on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm in Classrooms 1302/1303. Contact Linda Romann (Mobile: 618-560-9532 / Email: lromann@sbcglobal.net) for more information about our study.
