1 The Paradox Music Venue Teen Center Skate Park As our students are returning to school, it seems like a good time to add up all of the blessings we have seen this summer through the ministry at the Paradox. In June, we were excited to hear that we have been chosen to receive a $4500 grant from Lutheran Women s Missionary League, allowing us the funds to upgrade our facility! In July, we saw five of our kids and two moms attend the great VBS that Faith Lutheran held at Grand Oaks Elementary. July also brought us 35 volunteers on a sunny Saturday, painting walls and ceiling tiles, putting up drywall and all around cleaning up, getting ready for Fall. In August, we had the opportunity to witness to a young single mom that we ve been bringing to church. She had lots of questions about Bible stories she s been reading, and is interested in the why s of the Lord s Supper. Her four year old loves Sunday School! We are thankful to all who donate paper goods, food and drinks to the Paradox, as this subtracts from our overall expenses! With your prayers and financial help, we plan to multiply the ministry opportunities at the Paradox in this coming school year! The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with Joy! Psalm 126:3
