During the Covid-19 Pandemic, some of our activities and events have continued virtually and some have been on-hold as we wait, with hope,  for better days. Please see the notes in blue for up-to-date information. 

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN

meets during worship, September through May. Children attend the beginning of worship before being dismissed to their classrooms after ‘Children’s Time’. In the classrooms our weekly scripture reading is explored with a variety of activities. There is no Sunday School on the first Sunday of every month when we celebrate Communion so families can worship together. The combined Sunday School presents a Christmas pageant during worship in December and the Passion drama on Palm Sunday.

Sunday School has resumed for the 2022-2023 school year! New friends always welcome. 

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION FOR ADULTS

is available most Sunday mornings at 9:15 AM during the school year. Check with the office (314.631.8930 or office@edenucc.org) to verify current availability. Both a Bible study class and a book discussion group meet at this time. 

Fall 2022: Rev. Randy Heckman is leading Bible Study on the Gospel of Mark, Sundays at 9:15am.

Fall 2022:  An Adult Confirmation class of seekers has formed to consider the big questions of our faith and worship with our neighbors of various religious traditions. 

YOUTH GROUP

meets during worship on the 3rd Sunday of the month (September through May). Our Youth Group is composed of middle-school and high-school-aged young people. The group plans special projects and social activities for its members and for the congregation. Additionally, they raise money for and are engaged in mission projects and trips.
