Outreach opportunity to international students at SIUE
Last fall Eden church participated in the SIUE merchant fair. As a result of our campus outreach, we connected with two students from Nepal. These students were here almost every Sunday morning until they moved away in December. Last month Eden church participated in the SIUE merchant fair again. Of the 96 students who gave us their contact information, 19 indicated they were from Nepal. Eden Church is in conversation with the InterVaristy staff about a joint outreach to these Nepalese students. We are considering hosting a dinner for these students sometime in late February or early March. If you would like to participate in this or if you want more information, talk to Pastor John at 618-656-4330 or email him at jroberts@edenchurch-edw.org.
Calling All Drivers
Eden Church is looking for members who would be willing to drive the Church’s 15-passenger van from time to time. This is a great way to serve the Church and its outreach to the community. If you want to volunteer or if you want more information, talk to Pastor John at 618-656-4330 or email him at jroberts@edenchurch-edw.org.

Wednesday Night Bible: The Book of Ezekiel
Eden’s Wednesday Night Adult Bible Study Group will begin studying The Book of Ezekiel on Wed, February 1st. The messages of the prophet Ezekiel focus on the glory of God, the throne of God, and the honor of the name of God. When Ezekiel wrote his messages, the Jewish people were captives in Babylon and had become hard-hearted. God asked Ezekiel to do many unusual things to get the attention of the people so they would hear the Word of God. This message remains as relevant today as when it was first delivered as we examine Ezekiel’s mission to describe the indescribable, a God beyond imagining, a King worthy of our reverence. Our class meets on Wednesday’s 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.

Friday Women’s Bible Study of Paul, His Life and Teaching
Eden’s Friday Women’s Bible Study Group is studying Paul, His Life, and Teaching. The apostle Paul wrote many of the books in the New Testament. He led a dramatic and fascinating life from his conversion on the road to Damascus to his imprisonments to his speeches in the public square. His letters shaped the believers in the early church just as they shape us today. In this study, we will survey both the highlights of his life and the core teachings in his writings.
Our class meets at 12:30 pm on the second and fourth Fridays of each month in Classroom B/C. Contact Nancy Kruckeberg (Call or Text: 618-920-6941 / Email: nkruck85@gmail.com) for more information on joining our group.
