Page 8 Children s Liturgy of the Word READINGS FOR THE WEEK HELP NEEDED! The children s Liturgy of the Word ministry is still in need of leaders and shepherds. The program takes place at the 9:30am and 11:00am Masses in the Holy Family Chapel. Children in first through fourth grade join the leader to hear God s Word in a manner that is easier for them to understand. This takes place in a separate room from the chapel during the same time that their parents are hearing the Word in the chapel. This is a rewarding ministry and the materials that we use, give even the adult leaders a better understanding of scripture. Leaders conduct the program and shepherds help during the session. Please prayerfully consider volunteering for this important ministry so that we can continue to help the younger parishioners in understanding God s Word. This is truly fulfilling our baptismal promises to evangelize. If you are interested call Deacon Ron at 630-718-2153 or email at rbrown@sspeterandpaul.net.

Mike Brummond Director of the New Evangelization ELIZABETH MINISTRY As Mary went in haste to visit her cousin Elizabeth who was with a child to help and comfort her, so does our Elizabeth Ministry for all those who are in need. If you have experienced infertility, loss of a pregnancy, an infant or child death, you are not alone, many of our parish families have experienced the same and the Elizabeth Ministry would like to help you through it. On the other hand, if you are expecting for the first time, or you are new parents who just had a baby or adopted a child, the Elizabeth Ministry would like to celebrate with you and offer our services to you. Through prayers, adoration hours, and sharing personal experiences, our ministers will try to bring you some peace and comfort no matter what your situation is. Contact Sarah at: 630-809-5925 or at: elizabeth_ministry@sbcglobal.net. Attention Parishioners and Visitors Please consider spending an hour with our Lord.
