Join us in celebrating the 20th anniversary of our ministry at the Constitution location with the community. A full and
fun day is planned on Saturday, October 4th, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the parking lot of the new building at 55 S. Con-
stitution Drive! Family activities and crafts, fall treats, live bands and dancing -- all free! The entertainment on the
showmobile stage will be as diverse as our congregation -- our children singing, ministry booths, American Legion Post
84 presenting and retiring the colors, Don Phelps playing reveille and taps, Aurora Fire Department demo, Merry Heart
Clowns, Marachi Band Viva Tectalin, Square Dancing and demo, Swing Assembly band including David Kellen (swing
dancing and a variety of music), West High Madrigals, Collision Rock Band (with Adam Lathan), our Praise Team in-
cluding Jimmy O'Connell with special guest drummer Josh Duffy! And much more. Visit our website for an entertain-
ment schedule at www.stpaulaurora.org There will also be a Prayer Place, a designated place of prayer in the new
building using the 7 dynamics of prayer during the day. It will be a fun day for the whole community. Please park at
the church if you are able, and bring lawn chairs. Remember to invite your friends and neighbors!
Lots of volunteers are needed for various things and looking for cookie bakers in particular. If you're able to help in
some way, please contact Linda Volz at [email protected] or 630-564-6771.
Prayer Place A Prayer Place is a place designated for prayer with different stations, employing the seven dynamics of prayer. Other
churches, including Lutheran churches, have had Prayer Places, some with amazing answer to prayer. Our Prayer Place
will be available and staffed in the new building from Monday, September 29 through October 3. An advance appoint-
ment is necessary in order to preserve the experience for everyone. Sign up for your appointment today on the sign up
board in the Atrium. Energize Your Prayer Life! The Prayer Place will also be open at our Fall Celebration.
Hesed House Servant Event on October 11th and 12th
Thank you, thank you! It just doesn't seem like enough to say to everyone who helps feed and care for the homeless in our ar-
ea. They are very grateful, and can't believe people would give of their money and time to them in their hour of need -- but we do as
Christ's hands and feet in the community. Our next servant event at Hesed House will be October 11 and 12. Volunteers, food and
monetary donations are needed. We will be grilling chicken for dinner, which they love and don't get often, so in addition to some
food donations, we will be accepting monetary donations to buy the chicken in bulk. Monetary donations may be turned into
the church office and labeled for Hesed House; checks may be made out to St. Paul Lutheran Church. If you are able to help in some
way, please sign up in the Ministry Opportunity book at the Welcome Center by October 5. For more info or questions, please con-
September 28th will start the 22nd year of the Men’s Breakfast Club The Men’s Breakfast schedule is listed below. Adult tickets are $7 and Children 12 and under are $4.

When we bring
sunshine into
the lives of
others, we’re
warmed by it
ourselves. When
we spill a little happiness, it
splashes on us. Hope supersedes all
good intentions. Keep going by the
power of God’s grace. Dare to
believe that He has planned great-
er things right around the corner.
