If you are a graduate or know of one, please contact the church office by Wednesday, May 21. We need the following information: Name, school graduating from, future plans, and if there are ways we can pray for them. Then, encourage them to make plans to join us for this special time in our service where they will be recognized and prayed over.
Prime of Life is going to Alfonzo’s in Troy on Saturday, May 10, at 5:30. The sign-up sheet is in Fellowship Lobby. Please call Ruth Joachimsthaler at 618-978-1584 with any questions.
The Adult Sunday School Class is studying The Lord’s Prayer in The Heidelberg Catechism book. This study goes through scripture, questions, and answers to help us learn and understand the basic truths of the Bible. Please join us on Sundays at 10:30 am in Classroom 1302/1303.
Eden’s Friday Women’s Bible Study Group is studying The Book of 2 Samuel. David is known as Israel’s greatest king, but he had to fight many battles to establish his throne. When he did become king, he committed murder, adultery and brought disaster on his family. He was a man with human failings and far from perfect, yet he was also a man after God’s own heart. David depended on God’s grace for forgiveness when he stumbled – the same grace that is available to us today.
Our group will use John MacArthur’s study guide to look at how David struggled to establish his throne and concludes with the tragic rebellion of his son, Absalom. 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.

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.
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.

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
