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 at Heart Luncheon with Spittin' Image

We had a good group of outstanding performers for our Young at Heart program today (September 8, 2009).
Don Rickard led off the program with about 30 minutes of piano prelude music. I’m going to continue to push him to play the organ for us sometime.

Our headliners for the day were the Spittin’ Image (Swabb twins, Brian and Blain). These guys are some of our group’s favorite entertainers. They do great singing and instrument playing plus comedy.
Don’t ask which is Brian or Blain but I hear that their family knows the difference. I’m betting that they have to say something first.
This time they had a couple of our guys come up to the platform and perform with them as Elvis. The Elvis Brothers were a real hit and had me laughing out loud. You gotta believe that two 80+ year old guys as Elvis is funny but these guys did a great job and played the parts very well. I always say us old guys are really all just teenagers in old man’s bodies and this duo are certainly proof of my theory.
To end the Elvis segment, the guys really let their "hair" down!
If you know anyone who would enjoy good entertainment from the Spittin’ Image they can be contacted via their website. http://spittinimage.org/
Next month we will feature Charlie Pagnard on the Trumpet. He is our Worship and Praise Pastor here at Washington Heights Baptist. Charlie is First Chair Trumpet with the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra. He is a music professor at Cedarville University; and is part of a group called Carillon Brass and a mission group called Euro Brass who has played worship concerts in Germany for the past several years.
We always have a great time in our Young at Heart Luncheons and Day Trips.
Please join us.
