Upcoming Training Event: So the Next Generation Will Know
The next generation, quite literally, has the potential to change the world. God has entrusted us to raise and train our children appropriately so that they may change the world as guided by His biblical truth. So the Next Generation Will Know was written by two trusted experts on today’s youth – Sean McDowell and J Warner Wallace. Their video study is a practical tool for anyone equipping the next generation with a biblical worldview. Eden Church will be hosting a training event using the So the Next Generation Will Know study on Saturday, November 16th from 9a to 3:30p in the Fellowship Hall for the Eden congregation and friends who raise, teach, or influence young people. Please register for the event by Sunday, November 10th with the following link: https://edenchurch.breezechms.com/form/b8b830 or sign-up in the lobby on Sunday morning. The event cost is $20 per person, and you will receive a participant guide and lunch. Please let us know if you will need childcare. Contact the church office (618-656-4330) if you have any questions. We look forward to having you join us for this important training!

Friday Women’s Bible Study - The Book of 1 Samuel
Eden’s Friday Women’s Bible Study Group is studying The Book of 1 Samuel. 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 this Right Now Media series, Sharon Hodde Miller guides 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.
Boys Bible study
The High School Boys Bible study group meets at Eden in Fellowship Hall on Tuesdays from 3:30-5:00. We are starting a new study on the book of Romans. The book of Romans is rich with spiritual wisdom. By studying Paul’s letter to the Romans, 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).
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.
