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.

July 12, 2011 Young at Heart Luncheon–Stan the Magic Man

Sorry, this is so late. I forgot that I hadn’t added this one, yet. Remember to click on a picture to see a larger version.

Tuesday, July 12, we had a very nice luncheon meeting. Nancy and Grace Averitt did a great 30 minute prelude prior to the beginning of our program.

This month we welcomed Stan Goode back to our group. This is the second time he has performed for us. The program was entirely new from last year. He involved me in telling the story of the Shepherd who left 99 of his sheep to search for one that was lost. When he found the sheep, he carried him home and celebrated.

I also enjoyed the way he involved our people. There were a couple of grand daughters present and it was fun to watch their reactions and he also involved one of them.

I forgot to ask is she saw where the rabbit came from!OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

No magic show would seem right without at least one rope trick.

One trick that I enjoyed involved a group of colored lights that seemed to defy logic. I could never predict what would happen!

And, of course no magic would be complete without a rabbit. I discovered that the children didn’t care so much were the rabbit came from, as long as they could touch, or hold, it!

Next month (August 9), we will feature our own Josh Hales in a vocal concert. Josh is our Teen Pastor (pastor for teens – he isn’t a teen anymore).
