YAH Purpose

The Young at Heart Ministry is for Senior Adults (those past retirement age) in the Dayton, Ohio area. We provide times of fellowship and entertainment during our monthly Luncheons. We also provide the opportunity to see interesting places and things around the area during our monthly Day Trips. Once a year (sometimes more frequently) we offer a longer trip to see areas far from Dayton. All of our programs are designed to be honoring to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Young at Heart - November 2008

We were fortunate to have our son-in-law speak to us during our luncheon meeting about the subject of Thanksgiving. It was even more special because he brought four of our grandkids along. Elizabeth (our oldest grand-daughter also played the piano for us.

You can hear what Jim Koerber had to say HERE.
Our soloist was Erica Kwast. You can hear Erica sing HERE.

Our day trip for November was a tasty one. We visited the Ghyslain Chocolate factory in Union City, Indiana. They demonstrated the “Art” of chocolate candy making. Their candy is absolutely beautiful, almost too nice to eat.

I know it is hard to believe but everything below is edible! I would have a tummy ache, though.

After the candy making demonstrations we were treated to a nice meal. As you can see, everyone appears to have been enjoying themselves.









After our lunch we returned to Greenville, Ohio (originally known as Fort Green Ville) and visited the Garst Museum. This museum is a very nice one and features Annie Oakley and Lowell Thomas. Those of us who visited now know the name of the person that Lowell made famous ~ Lawrence of Arabia.
