It's always a special occasion when we have the opportunity to welcome new members into the Eden family! Phil and Myra Freel and Kaleigh Richardson have chosen to take thatnext step with us to become members of Eden Church!

Myra is a Registered Nurse in the main operating room at IU Health Ball Hospital. They have raised two children, Matt and Katelyn. Matt and his fiancé, Allyson Pruitt, live in Indianapolis. Katelyn and her husband, Ian Miller, have a daughter, Aubree Rose. Phil and Myra were members of Pleasantdale UM Church, Montpelier, IN before Phil received his calling and began to preach the next 14 years at Asbury Chapel UM Church, located on the south edge of Wells County. They enjoy traveling and spending time with friends and family. They are also active in the Sunday evening Life Group.

What an Incredible Morning this Past Sunday!
What a beautiful Baptism Sunday! We were able to celebrate the baptisms of cousins Kelsey Winters, Araya Elkins, Charlie Winters, and Marrissa McCormick!
Araya and Charlie were baptized first, and then Pastor Tammy asked if anyone else might be interested in being baptized. She gave the Eden family time to think it over and invited those who had been previously baptized to come and touch the water in the baptismal font. There were many who took her invitation and spent a moment remembering their own baptism. Then Marrissa and Kelsey decided they wanted to be baptized too!
"I just want to thank all of the Eden family for all of their kindness and love," their grandmother, Sondra Valangeon, said, "and leading our family to accept Jesus for our Lord and Savior."
Thank you, Kelsey, Araya, Charlie, and Marrissa, for letting us share in your special day!
We will be having another Baptism Sunday in April! If you are interested in being baptized, please contact Pastor Tammy.
Come be with us as we prepare for the Joy of Easter!
Come and take time to pray through the Stations of the Cross. The church will be open each day Tuesday thru Friday from 10am to 12pm and again from 5 to 7pm. Immerse yourself in Jesus' last week in human form.
Enjoy pizza and popcorn with us as we watch the Season 3 finale of The Chosen on the big screen in the sanctuary! Bring the whole family for this fun night as we enjoy the wrap on this incredibly moving and ground-breaking series.
Join us as we reflect upon Jesus' crucifixion and prepare our hearts for the joy that Easter brings. This is a family-friendly service. The Stations of the Cross will also be open from 5 to 7pm to further enrich this time of remembrance.
Celebrate the Risen Savior with us on Easter Sunday! We'll have an array of special treats on our Hospitality Table prior to our 10:30 Worship, and an Easter egg Hunt to follow! Don't miss a minute of this beautiful time together!
Fresh Resources are Here for The Chosen!
Northstar Church of Blacksburg, Virginia has crafted some beautiful study guides for us to use! These guides are perfect for study with your Life Group, Triads, Sunday Study Groups, or even at home with your family. We've also included their study guides from seasons 1 and 2. They're chock full of photos and thought-provoking talking points to coincided with the scriptures and each episode. Be sure to check them out!
Join Us this Sunday!
The Way of the Chosen is an eight week sermon series that is inspired by each episode of the show.
Discover a faith that is more than just knowing about Jesus. The real invitation is to learn, live and love his way of life.
God gave us all the freedom to choose. We can select either the wide road that leads to destruction or the narrow path that leads to life. The third season of the groundbreaking television show, The Chosen, picks up with how Jesus' followers apply His teaching to their lives. We will all be challenged to move from knowing who Jesus is to living out our faith by going the way of the Chosen.
We've Got GIVEAWAYS!
Who doesn't like a great travel mug, devotional, or tote bag? Nobody we know!
Join us each Sunday morning at 10:30 Worship and again on Movie Night (Thursday, April 6 at 6:30pm) for The Chosen and drawings for some fantastic giveaways from The Chosen!
There will be slips of paper for you to put in the basket for the drawings each week, and if you don't get drawn this week, you'll still have that entry in for the next week! The more you're here, the greater your chance to win!
See you Sunday for The Way of The Chosen!
We are also looking for volunteers who are willing to care for the little ones in the nursery on a rotating basis. If you are interested, please contact Jan Breeden or Pastor Matt for details.
