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@Heart Luncheon Program–January 14, 2014

This week we had the first of our Young@Heart Luncheons for 2014, also since our November luncheon. The December Luncheon was cancelled because of bad weather.

We enjoyed a great Piano Concert by Fred Scheffler and two of his piano students, Lexi Harbaugh and Nathan Brandt. Fred started by doing our prelude time prior to the actual program.

After our normal program stuff of acknowledgements, jokes and announcements, we featured a two part Piano program. Part 1 included piano solos by both Lexi and Nathan followed by a duet with the two of them. We had some outstanding comments by our people on their performances. Well done Lexi and Nathan!

Following Part 1, Part 2 included a nice devotional presentation written by Fred’s daughter, Julie Ruegsegger, and read by Lexi and Nathan with Fred playing piano. As they read the script, photos were shown to enhance the readings. The photo below shows Lexi reading while there is a Christmas theme on the screens behind. Nathan also did a couple of readings.

After the program, we enjoyed a nice meal prepared and served by Lisa and the volunteers. Pastor Rich McGhee surprised us by presenting Belated Christmas gifts for Lisa, Nancy and myself. Thank you all, this was a real surprise!
