THE FUTURE IS FULL OF HOPE
EDEN FIRE CURRENT UPDATES

Proverbs 3:5-6
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”
Hey EDEN Family,
How do you move forward when you don’t have all the answers?
Over the last few weeks we haven’t been in a formal teaching series. Instead, we’ve been taking time to ask what God might be doing in us through this season following the fire. None of us would have chosen this road, but we believe God wastes nothing. Even in uncertainty, He’s been inviting us to trust Him more deeply, listen more carefully, and move forward together.

1 Peter 4:12
“Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you.”
Dear Church,
It’s hard to describe what we experienced last Sunday.
In the midst of so much uncertainty, I was greatly moved by the heart and resilience of this church. Worship was sweeter. The words of each song seemed to carry more weight. And there was an unexplainable joy present in our community.
I’m not sure I’ve experienced anything quite like it before.
One thing has become undeniably clear: we are not walking through this alone. God's grace surrounds this church, and we are experiencing His presence in a powerful way. The people of this church are believing that God has a plan in the midst of this fire. We are filled with hope.
From the Eden Community, to old friends, to complete strangers, we have been so moved by the outpouring of love and support. Many people have reached out asking how they can help.
Here’s how you can help. Right now, the most immediate need is financial.
While we are grateful to have insurance coverage, it will likely take months before we know what will be covered and resources distributed. In the meantime, we will need to begin replacing essential equipment that was lost in the fire so that we can continue serving our community. These are significant expenses that were not planned for in our budget.
If you would like to help bridge that gap, we have created an Eden Fire Recovery Fund. Every gift will go directly toward replacing critical items, supporting ongoing ministry needs, and helping us continue moving forward.
More than anything, we ask that you continue to pray for the season ahead. We are filled with hope, knowing that God is at work - and we will see Him do more than we could ask or imagine.
Blessings,
Daniel

Dear Eden Community,
First, we want to say thank you for the outpouring of love and support over the past 24 hours. It’s wonderful to be part of this community. God is at work and we fully trust that the future is full of hope.
Special thank you to Santa Clara Fire Department, Campbell Police Department, and the many first responders who bravely fought the fire, and protected our campus. 7 fire engines surrounded the auditorium yesterday, and crews of firefighters worked diligently to put out the fire efficiently, protecting the rest of campus from any spread of fire.
Special thank you to Madlen, Director of Hearts and Hands Preschool, and her team of teachers who promptly evacuated the preschool on campus. Everyone is safe, and we are so grateful for God's protection, that no one was injured.
Plan Beginning This Sunday
Gratefully, the exterior of the auditorium building is still standing. The interior damage is extensive, and so beginning this Sunday, we'll host services at 9:30am & 11am outdoors in a tent, in the Eden parking lot.
Eden Kids & Eden Youth
Eden Kids and Eden Youth will resume as normal in their classrooms and buildings - which were untouched by the fire.
Repairs & Rebuilding
Our team has applied for permits to begin repairing and rebuilding. We are working through the insurance process, and will keep you updated over the next several weeks.
See You Sunday!
9:30am & 11am
400 Llewellyn Avenue, Campbell 95008
Sincerely,
Daniel & The Eden Team

Dear EDEN Community,
We trust God at all times, and in all circumstances. Today, we were not expecting to send this email, but God is good and we trust He has good plans for our church and our future.
This evening at approximately 5pm, there was a fire in the EDEN Church auditorium. There is an ongoing investigation into the cause of the fire. The auditorium is still standing, but the interior damage is significant. Thankfully, no one was injured, and we are grateful to the first responders who quickly moved into action and prevented the fire from spreading.
We love Sundays with you and are excited to let you know that church will continue! We are working on a plan and will update you soon with more information.
We invite you to pray with us as we seek God and trust in His goodness. We believe wholeheartedly that the future is full of hope. We look forward to seeing how God works through this circumstance for good.
Sincerely,
Daniel & The EDEN Team
