Regional Evangelical Association Gathering
Zion Evangelical Church in Millstadt, Illinois, is hosting a regional Evangelical Association gathering on Saturday, March 22 from 9:30a - 2:30p. Please RSVP by Phone at (618) 656-4330 or Email jroberts@edenchurch-edw.org to Pastor John by February 26.
Eden Church Parking Lot Procedure
Our parking lots are well-used by people coming to our church and our neighbors. Our policy is that we are okay with our neighbors using our parking lots, even for overnight parking, as long as our neighbors will provide us with their contact information.
We created a flyer that we place under the windshield wipers of vehicles that park overnight. The flyer has a QR code to scan that takes them to our registration page. They are asked to provide us with their name and contact information, the make and model of their car, and their car’s license plate number. This allows us to track who is using our parking lot and to send out notifications when the parking lot’s gonna be closed for a special event or if we’re scheduling some snow removal.
If cars are left on our parking lot and they’re not registered, we assume they are abandoned, and we will have them towed away at the owner’s expense. We want to be good neighbors to the people who park on our parking lots. We just ask that if they’re gonna be here overnight, they let us know who they are.
Mark Your Calendars!
A chili cook off is coming on Sunday, March 2 at 11a to raise funds for the youth summer trips to J Creek camp and Belize this summer.

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.
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.
