Wednesday Night Bible Study: ADVENT by Derwin Gray
Eden’s Wednesday Night Adult Bible Study Group will begin studying ADVENT by Derwin Gray on Wed, December 7th. Who exactly is Jesus? What kind of God would come to earth as a human? As Christmas approaches, the season of Advent offers us a chance to reflect on our Savior, His purpose, and the surprising ways He invited people near to Him. Join us for this Right Now Media video series as Pastor Derwin Gray unveils King Jesus-the God-man who defied expectations, the King of all creation who humbled Himself to serve and die, the friend to sinners who wants to lift us up.
Our class meets weekly on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm in Classroom B/C. Contact Linda Romann (Mobile: 618-560-9532 / Email: lromann@sbcglobal.net) for more information
about our study.

Eden Church Small Groups - Sign-Up Now!!
The Church is not a building. The Church is real people doing real life together. It is essential to be connected to others as God designed us to walk together. The early church set an example for us as they learned together, ate together, and supported those people in need.
The Vision for Eden Small Groups follows the pattern of the early church:
Small Groups growing with God, and each other and serving the community
Eden Small Groups have 3 elements:
- Studying the Word together - Each group spends time in Bible Study as we grow together spiritually.
- Serving one another, our church, and our community - Each group selects a service project for their group to work together to serve Eden and the community.
- Supporting and sharing time with one another in fellowship - Groups are made up of people who know each other well and people who are “new” to each other, so “old” relationships can deepen, and “new” relationships can develop. Our connections will grow stronger, which strengthens our church family.
Eden has seven groups scheduled to meet at different times as listed below:
- Small Group #1 meets once a month on the second Sunday @ 3-5p at Eden. Leaders: Linda Romann & Lora Partney
- Small Group #2 meets twice a month on the second and fourth Sundays @ 4p at Fred & Pam Heepke’s house. Leaders: Fred & Pam Heepke and Leah Johnson
- Small Group #3 meets twice a month on the second and fourth Mondays @ 7p at Eden. Leaders: Crystal Dees & Michael Steinway
- Small Group #4 meets twice a month on the second and fourth Thursdays @ 1:30p at Eden Village (EV residents only) Leaders: Milinda Clowers & Linda Klingel
- Small Group #5 meets twice a month on the second and fourth Fridays @ 7-9p at Eden. Leaders: Pam Rorie, David Johnson & Jeff Wagner
- Small Group #6 meets once a month on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 1p at Eden. Leaders: Carol Wetzel & Linda Klingel
- Small Group #7 meets once a month on the fourth Wednesday of the month @ 7p at Eden. Leaders: Nancy Kruckeberg and Mike & Cyndy Schiber
God can use small groups to change the lives of others. As small groups study together, support one another, and serve others, change happens. Life changes DO happen in small groups. We invite you to join a group today! Sign-up for a Small Group on Sundays in the lobby or by contacting the Small Group Leader or Nancy Kruckeberg at 618-920-6941.
