Our teens are also involved with the Waukesha Teen Center in a weekly outreach dinner to the unchurched and at risk teenagers.
The dinner is held on Thursdays at the Teen Center, where local churches and Bible study groups, provide a group of 20 to 25 teens with a free family style dinner. Leaders engage the kids in guided conversation that gives them an opportunity to consider Christ's teachings alongside their life issues. Dinner and conversation is followed by payer and Bible study.
Some of the kids have been victims of abuse, involved with drugs, and gang actvity, but they are turning to Jesus and learning to break free of their self destrcutive behaviors which rule their lives.
If you or your group are interested in becoming a part of this, please contact Suzy at 262-492-1317.

I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day;
I'd rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way.
The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear,
Fine counsel is confusing, but example's always clear;
And the best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds,
For to see good put in action is what everybody needs.
I soon can learn to do it if you'll let me see it done;
I can watch your hands in action, but your tongue too fast may run.
And the lecture you deliver may be very wise and true,
But I'd rather get my lessons by observing what you do;
For I might misunderstand you and the high advise you give,
But there's no misunderstanding how you act and how you live.
When I see a deed of kindness, I am eager to be kind.
When a weaker brother stumbles and a strong man stays behind
Just to see if he can help him, then the wish grows strong in me
To become as big and thoughtful as I know that friend to be.
And all travelers can witness that the best of guides today
Is not the one who tells them, but the one who shows the way.
One good man teaches many, men believe what they behold;
One deed of kindness noticed is worth forty that are told.
Who stands with men of honor learns to hold his honor dear,
For right living speaks a language which to every one is clear.
Though an able speaker charms me with his eloquence, I say,
I'd rather see a sermon than to hear one, any day.
