August Luncheon–August 9, 2011

Our August Luncheon program was changed because Josh was not feeing well enough to sing. Fortunately, we could get the Miami Valley Women’s Center to switch their October program with Josh and do theirs, today.

We had some music today, although it was not our emphasis. Nancy, Sandy Hayward and Marlene Williams sang a trio number accompanied by Grace Averitt. Listen to their music!

Rather than just cover the main emphasis of Crisis Pregnancy Centers, our speakers addressed areas of the Women’s Center ministry that we don’t normally think of when thinking of a Crisis Pregnancy Center.

Sheri Armstrong is the Director of Evangelism and Discipleship. She discussed this very important ministry.

Brad Berlean is the Director of Men’s Ministry and reaches out to the fathers of the babies.

Nancy is the Clinic Director and also Director of Journey of Hope.

You can hear their complete program, HERE!

Cincinnati Reds

Our July Young at Heart Day trip was to see a game with the Cincinnati Reds. Unfortunately, we did not have a sufficient turnout from YAH, so we opened the opportunity to grandkids and some other individuals from my Adult Bible Fellowship at WHBC. Together we managed to take a bus with 26 people to see the afternoon game against the NY Mets.

We had excellent seats. One row was on the concession deck and then the next two rows just below the concession deck. We overlooked first base. I think it was the best seats we could have had. We were under the deck above so were shaded from the hot sun!

Even though it was a hot day, the Reds weren’t hot enough to win this game. It was a very high scoring game, so was fun to watch. I had planned to leave early to beat the rush but there was no way anyone wanted to leave with the game close and only one run to go!

Final score – Reds 9; Mets 10!
