Eden Church Shave Team
Can you think of anything more important than saving the life of a child?
And what’s even better than shaving your head to give hope to kids fighting cancer? Coming together as a team to raise more money!
This is the 25th year of St. Baldrick’s raising funds for research to find cures for kids with cancer. And while great progress has been made, 1 in 5 kids diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. won’t survive.
Please join us or support our team with a donation that will fuel critical discoveries, develop new treatments, and save lives.
Together, we can accelerate the next 25 years of cures for kids with cancer!
Below is a link that you can go online to help support your team.

Friday Women’s Bible Study - The Book of 2 Samuel
Eden’s Friday Women’s Bible Study Group will begin studying The Book of 2 Samuel on Friday, April 11. David is known as Israel’s greatest king, but he had to fight many battles to establish his throne. When he did become king, he committed murder, adultery and brought disaster on his family. He was a man with human failings and far from perfect, yet he was also a man after God’s own heart. David depended on God’s grace for forgiveness when he stumbled – the same grace that is available to us today.
Our group will use John MacArthur’s study guide to look at how David struggled to establish his throne and concludes with the tragic rebellion of his son, Absalom. 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.

The Book of Revelation: Escape the Coming Night
The Book of Revelation is a prophetic book written by John the Apostle while he was exiled to the island of Patmos. The initial part of this study by Dr David Jeremiah consists of John’s introduction to the Book of Revelation and his encounter with the glorified Jesus Christ. Next, we will read the seven letters sent to seven churches in the Mediterranean region. Each church, except one, had issues that needed to be addressed. Dr David Jeremiah will help us see how the issues that the churches had during the early first century continue to be issues in our churches today. Please join us on Wednesday evenings 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.

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.
