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.

Wednesday Night Bible: The Book of Daniel
Eden’s Wednesday Night Adult Bible Study Group is studying The Book of Daniel. Old Testament prophet Daniel had the most incredible career imaginable. He was transported as a teenage captive to a pagan empire and became the primary confidante to the ruler of Babylon. When Babylonia was taken over by its enemies, Daniel rose to a high position in the Persian Empire. There are only two people in the Bible, other than Jesus Christ, of which no evil is spoken, Joseph and Daniel. The Book of Daniel is in two halves: the first six chapters are historical, which deal with the adventures and career of this remarkable man. The second six chapters are some of the most pivotal and important prophecies of the entire Bible. Through commentary, workbook and video, Dr Chuck Missler will guide us to a clear understanding of the book of Daniel which will help us understand the times in which we live. Our class meets on Wednesdays 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.
