Lenexa Baptist Church, Lenexa, Kan., touched lives and shared Christ on Saturday, Sept. 26, during a community outreach event called S.O.S.

S.O.S stands for:

• Serving each other and the community
 
• Observing the needs around us
 
• Sharing our lives and the Gospel

Church members partnered with the Quivira Place Apartment complex in Lenexa. They made repairs to the playground, served lunch, provided carnival games and a Kidz’s Street Live performance.

It was a huge success with more than 100 residents benefiting from lunch and improvements to their playground area.

Many hearts were touched and four decisions were made. The next evening three more decisions were made.

Steve Dighton is the church’s senior pastor. He is a KNCSB past president.

Lenexa Baptist will play host to the 2011 KNCSB annual meeting.
