Friday Women’s Bible Study - The Book of 1 Samuel
Eden’s Friday Women’s Bible Study Group will begin studying The Book of 1 Samuel on Friday, September 27. The heroes of the Bible offer complex, flawed examples of leadership. Their stories prompt us to examine the difference between our outward appearance and what God sees in our hearts. In Right Now Media series, Sharon Hodde Miller will guide our group through the Book of 1 Samuel, exploring the frailty of the human heart and the faithfulness of God. Our class meets at 12:30 pm on the second and fourth Fridays of each month in Classroom 1302/1303. Contact Nancy Kruckeberg (Call or Text: 618-920-6941 / Email: nkruck85@gmail.com) for more information on joining our group.

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.
