Celebrate Recovery child care ministry needs volunteers!
We are looking for six individuals who love God's children and are able to commit to one Friday a month from 6 to 9 PM.
If you are interested in getting involved in this incredible and rewarding ministry, please contact Andy Hoffman: an-
[email protected] or Sara Comfort: [email protected].
Please put St. Paul Celebrate Recovery child care ministry in your prayers to see if God calls upon you to help do his
work for our community.
Children’s Church
Children 3-4th grade are invited to join Children’s Church classes during the 8, 9:30 and 11am Services of Worship.
Children gather to sing, praise, learn and share together as we discover the story of the week and how God’s love for us
is bigger than anything! Parents attend worship while children have their own worship experience. Each week is
something new. Try it out!
Sunday School Returns
Sunday mornings at 9:30 am starting September 14th.
Join us for a HOLY MOLY Sunday morning experience where we discover Bible stories through video and paper.
Monthly Family Fun Parties will be planned as well! Don’t miss the fun :)
Children ’s Ministry Trunk or Treat
Did you know that St. Paul will host a Trunk or Treat this October 25th in the afternoon?
It will be fun dressing in costumes and trick or treating from car to car in a safe, fun environment.
For more information: sign up online to receive weekly church eblasts by going to our website www.stpaulaurora.org.
The next Hesed House servant event will be August 9-10. There are sign-up sheets for volunteers and food donations
at the Welcome Center. Those less fortunate there are always appreciative of our help.
Adult Special Needs Sunday Bible Class will begin on September 14th, 2014.
Looking for a way to connect to Children’s Ministry?
AWANA – will start this fall for 4th to 6th graders on Sunday Mornings between 9-10:30AM in the school
modular building. We are looking for 3 more adult volunteers to come onboard to make this happen with a weekly
commitment from September to May (with 8 weeks of other events during the year). The Truth and Training class or
T&T engages fourth through sixth-graders by answering their questions about God and the Bible, guiding them through
this pivotal life stage so they can grow in Christ's grace. The handbooks and large-group lessons deepen a child's
knowledge about God and His Word and teach how to put that knowledge into action in everyday life. This club will
have wonderful awards that encourage kids in the benefits of learning spiritual development. Consider joining this new
venture and making a difference in the lives of our children. Please contact [email protected].
Our prayers of thanks go to each one of our St. Paul family for your many kind and generous good wishes on our
anniversary. God has abundantly blessed us with your kindness and we are very happy to be a part of this
congregation. Thanks again and may God bless you all.

breaking off. Contact Larry Miller at [email protected] for more details.

PARISH NURSING
BICYCLE SAFETY Bike riding can be a fun activity for children, but if they don't know how to ride safely it can also be a very
dangerous one. More than 4,000 are injured each year just in IL related to bicycle injuries.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, download
SAFE BICYCLING IN IL http://www.dot.il.gov/bikemap/safekids/cover.pdf
Always wear a helmet and make sure it's fastened. Helmets can reduce head injuries by up to 85 percent
and in many states it's illegal for children not to wear them.
Wear bright clothing. Bright and light colored clothing makes riders more noticeable. If children are al-
lowed to bike ride after dark, make sure they have reflectors on their bike, helmet, and clothing.
Ride in safe places, such as in parks, on bike trails, and on roads with little traffic.
Obey the rules of the road. Bikers must stop at all stop signs and red lights, use hand signals when turning,
and ride only on the right hand side of the road, with traffic. To practice using road signs, check out these.
Look both ways before crossing an intersection. Seven out of 10 bike crashes happen at driveways and in-
tersections.
Whenever possible cross the road at crosswalks. That's where drivers expect to see bicyclists and pedestri-
ans crossing intersections. Remember, always walk bikes across crosswalks.
Give bikes regular tune ups. It's just as important for a bike to be well maintained as a car.
Lock up or keep bikes in a safe place. To help police return a bike if it is stolen and
recovered, record the serial number and take a picture of the bicycle for their use. Many local
police departments have free bike registration days and other bike registration programs.
Ride with a friend. It's more fun and safer because help is there if needed.
If children know these, they are on their way to safe riding. These tips are great for
rollerblading and skateboarding too! National Crime Prevention Council (http://www.ncpc.org)
