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.

LaComedia–December 20

Our December Day Trip for Young@Heart is often at LaComedia for several reasons. 1) They provide excellent Christmas entertainment 2) It is convenient enough that we don’t often have to be concerned about a snow day 3) Everyone enjoys the programs at LaComedia and these are generally our best attended Day Trips 4) the food is good!

I believe our total this month was about 30 people. Most of those rode down on the church bus but a few drove on their own.

Although LaComedia does not allow photography during the performances, we were able to take a few shots of our people before and after. I also added one performance photo from their Facebook page.

Time of fellowship and eating!

There were two parts of the performance; maybe even two entirely different performances. The first part was a children’s story about believing in Santa. The music was good and performances by the children and chorus line were good. I think Kids would have loved this part. The photo below is from this part of the program and appears on the LaComedia Facebook page.

The second part/performance was the “True Meaning of Christmas” and focused on the birth of Christ as told in Mathew and Luke. This ended with an awesome solo, “Oh Holy Night”.

After the show, there is always a lineup of the performers to greet and shake hand or congratulate. I thought I took several photos but the one below is the only one that came out of my camera!  Sad smile I also shot photos of the kids and the soloist. Sorry that I cannot show them here!
