Eden Church Embarks on a New Chapter
In His Steps Prayer Walk Experience
Draw closer in your walk with Jesus through this powerful prayer experience as Holy Week draws to a close. The In His Steps Prayer Walk Experience is attended by both Eden members and friends of Eden as well as those who may not have a church home or are curious about Eden. Don't miss this opportunity to deepen your walk with Christ.
In His Steps Prayer Walk Experience hours:
Now thru Friday, April 18 (Good Friday)
9am to 12noon, and 5 to 7pm
​
Good Friday Service April 18 • 7pm
Join us as we reflect upon Jesus’ crucifixion and prepare our hearts for the joy that Easter brings. This is a family-friendly service. In His Steps Prayer Walk will also be open from 5 to 7pm to further enrich this time of remembrance.

​
NEW! Camino de Cristo Saturday, April 9 • 9am
(Weather permitting)
​
Distance: approximately 5 miles
Location: We will meet at the Cardinal Greenway trailhead parking lot in Gaston.
Join Pastor Tammy on Holy Saturday for a reflective guided walk on the Cardinal Greenway.
We will walk in silence and take brief stops along the way to pray and reflect upon how it is for each of us as we experience those in-between times.
Many times in life we find ourselves at places between death and resurrection.
Let us take time together to imagine what must it have been like for the disciples on that Saturday before they shouted, He is Risen!
Prayer guides will be provided.
Bring a pen, open hearts and open hands.

Once again, the Eden Church family has expanded, welcoming in new member Lori Polito Quino and her children, Trinity, Tristan, and Shad. Eden's children and our church family prayed over them to shower them with God's love.
Be sure to meet this wonderful family and get to know them this Sunday!
Beautiful Baptisms
There are few things in this world that are more powerfully profound than a man who leads his children to Jesus through his own example.
This past Sunday, Eric Smith and his sons, Wyatt and Tucker, were baptized. The men's group and our church family prayed over them just prior to their baptism.
Congratulations, Eric, Wyatt, and Tucker, on taking this beautiful step together in your relationship with Jesus. Blessings upon you and your family always! Your Eden family loves you all!
Be sure to introduce yourself and get to know this wonderful family this Sunday morning!

Praise, Prayers, & Pause
a weekly look at things we can pray about together as a church family.
This week's entry highlights the volunteers who created the stations for the In His Steps Prayer Walk Experience.
Welcome to Praise, Prayers, & Pause,
Praise - This week, let us thank God for the beautiful insights that each person who set a station (or several of them) used to interpret His Word so powerfully.
​
Prayers - Let us pray that God will continue to bless and empower these creative souls to do even more to further His Kingdom here on Earth as they share the story of Jesus with those around them. Ask Him to bless them in His own beautiful, creative ways.
​
Pause - Take a pause today - even if it's just for one hour - from something that keeps you from spending time with God. Whether it's your phone or the television or other technology, give yourself a break from them and get quiet.
​
Let us know if you've got a ministry, person, or situation you'd like us to include!
