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.

Charlie Pagnard at Young at Heart Luncheon

Our program today was an outstanding one with our own Charlie Pagnard accompanied by Dr Charles Clevenger at the piano. Charlie is our Ministry Pastor and leads our band, choir and the praise team. Of course, he also occasionally plays a piece or two on his trumpet for the church.
Charlie's day job is at Cedarville University where is a professor teaching trumpet, etc. He is also a part of several other musical ventures. He is first chair with the Dayton Symphony, plays trumpet with the Carillon Brass and does an annual program in Germany with EuroBrass. Since this doesn't keep Charlie busy enough, he also is in partnership with his son in a local Papa Murphy's Pizza franchise. Dr. Charles Clevenger is also a professor at Cedarville University and teaches piano. We should also plan a piano concert by Dr. Clevenger, some day!
Today Charlie played a nice variety of pieces intermixed with stories from his past. I think I saw Charlie's mom, Betty, cringing a few times as he told things about his childhood that she is hearing for the first time. All in all, this was a wonderful time together.

Thank you Charlie, we will do this again! Everyone insists. You can hear the entire program HERE.
