April iServe Opportunity is this Saturday!
Grab your rakes, weed whackers, leaf blowers, gloves and buckets! We'll be doing some outdoor clean-up for a sweet lady who lives just down the street from the church. Barbara has been a member of Eden for a very long time and would greatly appreciate the help.
​
We'll be working from 9am to noon, and many hands make light work, so it might go even quicker. Click the link below to let Pastor Tammy know you're coming to help out!
Welcome Skyann to New Life in Following Jesus!
What a beautiful time of worship this past Sunday morning! Skyann Cansler was baptized and for the first time our church family was able to see the baptizee come up out of the water!
​
Then we had several others who decided to reaffirm their own baptism and spent time with Pastor Tammy as she walked them through that and prayed with them all.
​
Interested in being baptized? It's not too late! Contact Pastor Tammy if you'd like to be baptized.
Forged by Fire Offers Connection
Eden's group for men, Forged by Fire offers friendship, connection and community for the men of our church and our community at large. From book studies to sharing life to praying for one another, this group is a force to be reckoned with. These relationships carry them through the joys and trials of everyday life, and even gathering in prayer over one of their own before he departed for his eternal life with Jesus.
​
Forged by Fire meets on the second Tuesday of each month from 6:30 to 8pm. All men are welcome!

Welcome to a Journey through Exodus
Hard to believe we're already 15 weeks into the 730 Challenge! This week we continue our deep dive into Exodus and journey through it over the next several weeks.
​
Not caught up with the Bible Study Together App? No judgement here! Simply start where we are now and move forward with us! You'll be amazed at how much richer Sunday mornings are when we're all reading the same scriptures throughout the week!
Walk with Moses through Exodus
Walking outdoors is one of the best ways we can connect with God. During our time in Exodus, we'd like to invite you to join us in the Moses Walk!
​
Simply walk one mile each day after you do your daily reading (or listen to the audio version as you walk along) and listen to what God has to say to you! We'll have a prize for whoever walks the most miles and completes the entire reading for Exodus!
​
Don't miss this exciting way to connect with God!
Support Our ESU Student Campers!
This year, Eden Student Union is providing the opportunity for students to attend the Total Surrender Youth Summer Camp. We are currently raising money through our bucket in the lower lobby each week, and appreciate those who have so generously donated to the cause. To give the students a bigger role in the FUNdraising, we have several events coming up. Be sure to join us in these events, get to know our fantastic group of kids, and support them in their faith journey!

Questions? See Pastor Matt for details!
Are You Interested in Baptism?
Baptism is a public expression of our acknowledgment of and commitment to new life in Jesus Christ. This can be understood as receiving the gift of God’s immense love and witnessing to others of your decision to follow Jesus.
​
Your baptism will BLESS your life and God’s people are ready to support you on this journey. Your spiritual family at Eden Church will walk alongside you knowing that God who has begun a good work in you will complete it. We welcome you to “Everyday Pathways in Christ,” God’s EPIC story being written through your life.

Did You Know...
...that a print version of the Eden Weekly News goes out to a small group of elderly in our church family?
Each week, Julie builds a separate print version of the Eden Weekly News to send out via snail mail to some of our older folks who don't do email regularly. This is one more touchpoint for those who may be disconnected but still wish to be "in the know" as to what's going on here at Eden! And, it's one of Julie's favorite tasks of the week!
​
If you or someone you know might benefit from being on this list, please let Julie know. :)
