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.

Carillon Brass Concert - December 13, 2016

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We had an awesome Christmas Luncheon Program and meal, in spite of the snow! Unfortunately, the weather did impact our numbers, so instead of a record turnout, we had about 100 brave soles. So, now all of the rest of you will have to make do with this blog!


To start, Grace Averitt played the Piano for our prelude. Grace will be leaving for Florida soon, so we are going to miss her around here for a couple of months.


Carillon Brass is a subset of the brass section of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra. They regularly perform in schools to build an appreciation for music in our students. The Carillon Brass comprises five top musicians from the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra: Charles Pagnard, Principal Trumpet; Alan Siebert, Second Trumpet; Aaron Brant, Principal Horn; Chad Arnow, Trombone; and Tim Northcut, Principal Tuba. We were also pleased to have Claire Northcutt (Tim's 14 year old daughter) sing for us.


They performed a very good selection of Christmas music, some familiar and some not. Actually, they have a way of making some familiar music sound unfamiliar!  LOL (I mean that in a good way, of course)


You can enjoy the entire music program HERE,

Thank you Carillon Brass for a fantastic Christmas Concert!

After the concert, we adjourned to the gymnasium for our Christmas meal. Lisa and her staff of volunteers prepared and served a very good Christmas meal of Ham, Sweet Potato Casserole, Baked Apples and Cheese Cake!


We will not have another Luncheon Program until March 14, when our old friend Dave Harney will sing for us. So, Happy New Year!  And keep warm and dry,
