Teens for Christ Invited to Meeting

The not-so-secret target Sunday of the marching Teens for Christ will be the First Christian Church of Orange, Dave Berg militant leader of the Huntington Beach sect, revealed Friday.
Berg, 49, disclosed the name of the church at a meeting at Golden West College with school public relations director Bruce Williams and the Rev. Ken McMillian of the First Methodist Church of Fountain Valley.
Berg said his church-hopping teens had accepted an invitation of the Rev. Jay Calhoun, pastor of the Orange church located at 1130 Walnut St., to attend the 11 a.m. service.
It was the gray-haired leader’s first public appearance in a week. He has been confined with a throat infection.
He said his decision to veer from the usual surprise tactic was based on what he felt was a need for a “change.”
“We’re looking forward to going somewhere where we are wanted,” he added.
