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.

November 9, 2010–YAH Luncheon with Gary Lare

We had a fantastic time with our Young at Heart Luncheon program, November 9. Our program was a full one with plenty going one. We started with Piano Music from Fred Scheffler and David Brandt. Our prelude material is so good that many people come as early as 10:30 AM just to listen to that entire program.

Following the prelude we did our normal opening material including, jokes, acknowledge visitors, Birthdays and Anniversaries. Then, we review the future Day Trips. Finally, we brought on our program for the month. This month, we featured a ventriloquist, Gary Lare. This is the second year that we’ve used Gary. He comes to us from the Cincinnati area and has a very busy schedule. We are fortunate to be able to have him on our schedule with his FRIENDS.

Hmm, I thought this guy looked a lot like our former president Richard Nixon.

I also took a video of this guy and Gary to share here. Click this link to see it! After viewing this YouTube video, you can return to this page by clicking the backspace on your browser.

Of course, a highlight of Gray’s program is when he brings up a number of our people to help with the performance. Gary’s Dummies, so to speak! Gary had the group do “Old McDonald had a Farm” Of course our group performed like animals!

Following Gary’s entertainment, we had a short time of devotions led by John Coons a former pastor from Kansas. John did tremendous job in the five minutes that I allowed him. It worked well enough that I will certainly be including him again. You can listen to what John had to say, HERE!

Of course, this was a LUNCHEON program and what a luncheon it was! Lisa and the staff in the kitchen prepared an awesome meal. Turkey pot-pie in shells, sweet potato casserole, cranberry sauce, green beans and pumpkin pie. I thought the sweet potato casserole was even better than what we get at La Comedia, but Lisa tells me it is the same recipe. Speaking of recipes, Lisa will have a section of our December Newsletter dedicated to some of your favorites! Look for the newsletter late this month.

Next month, we will have a special Christmas Luncheon program with Christmas music and a special friend of our church, Dr. David Warren. I believe the meal will be another special one, too! Be sure to join us.
