Michael Goble is shaving to cure childhood cancers!
Mar 21, 2026 • Time TBD
Event: Maryville Fire Department St. Baldrick’s Fundraiser
At: Maryville Fire Department
300 North Donk, Maryville, IL US
Michael Goble is raising money for St. Baldrick’s.
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 26th 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 Michael 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 to online to help support Michael.

Eden Church has an established Safety Team on duty every Sunday morning. Volunteer church members, many of whom have concealed carry permits, stand on duty by our entrances as a line of first defense. These members are trained in first aid and CPR and have been taught how to respond in an active shooter situation or other emergencies. If you are interested in joining the team, let Pastor John know at 618-410-4007 or jroberts@edenchurch-edw.org.
February is National Children’s Dental Health Month, an American Dental Association observance to promote the benefits of good oral health.

A collection box can be found in the main lobby area. Any questions, contact Jeff Wagner. Thank you for your support!
There is still time to fill a Baby Bottle to help support Mosaic. If you need to turn one in or you need one to fill, please see Angel Steinway.
Deteriorating values. Competing religions. Do you feel like the world presents you with more problems than you can handle? Timothy and Titus also faced these tough issues as young church leaders. But Paul encouraged them to put aside timidity and insecurity and to find strength in Christ. In 1&2 Timothy and Titus we also find the support we need to follow through in obedience to God’s Word. Eden’s Adult Sunday School Class will begin studying the Books of 1&2 Timothy and Titus on Sunday, February 1st. We meet Sunday mornings from 10:30-11:30 in Classroom 1302/1303. Please join us for this valuable study.
The High School Boys Bible study group meets at Eden in Fellowship Hall on Tuesdays from 3:30-5:00. We are using the resource “Studies On The Go” to explore the rich truths in the book of John. We will explore everything from new life in Christ to how to live like Jesus. If you are a High School boy, please join us for this time of study and fellowship. If you have any questions, please contact Fred Heepke (618-304-0928), Mike Schiber (618-920-0862) or Roger Stahlhut (618-972-3672).
Eden’s Friday Women’s Bible Study Group will begin studying The Book of Genesis on Friday, January 9th. We will take an in-depth look at the creation story, the first murder, Noah and the Flood and much more. Our group will use John MacArthur’s study guide to provide intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture. 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.
There’s no doubt the world is in trouble. We see tragedy in the streets and violence in the news. We feel the pain and confusion of a culture that seems to be coming apart at the seams. How do we explain so much chaos? How do we live with such turmoil? Is there any hope for peace in our times? In the study Escape the Coming Night, Dr David Jeremiah will help us answer these questions as he walks us through the book of Revelation. This exploration of Revelation is shocking and eye-opening, but also consistently uplifting – a vital message for our time. 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.
