Teens For Christ



Each second Saturday evening , Rexford Kansas comes alive! It's Teens For Christ night.

Coming from some eight rural communities, 150 or so teens arrive in force in church vans and leaders' cars.

They begin their evening at the Ranch House where the members of the Shepherd's Staff serve up burgers, choc. shakes, nachos, and fries. It's a bit awsome as all these guys burst in hungry at one time.

The happiest sounds in the world are giggles, laughter, and excited chatter as they renew friendships.

An hour later- they vanish to "Hiram Hall" across the street to enjoy fun skits, singing and a variety of activities . In October they have been known to have a pumpkin toss contest with group made launchers . Other months are planned to give maximum fun.

The heart of the evening is the time of spiritual challenge and encouragement to live their lives in the light of the example and teachings of the Lord.

Each summer they are involved in mission trips, helping others.

They are a most welcome group each month.

"Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom,teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God." Colossians 3:16
