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.

February 8, 2011 – Luncheon with Dave Harney

The weather outside was cold with snow on the ground. However, the spirit of our people inside was definitely warm. The weather kept some people away but we still had nice turnout of 100 people.

Prior to our scheduled program, Fred Scheffler and David Brandt provided great prelude music for this Valentine season of LOVE. The music included, Popular, Classical, and Religious. Fred and David always do a very nice job and provide good entertainment that prepares us for the program.

You can hear a bit of their music HERE.

Later I introduced our coming Day Trip in March to La Comedia to see the play, “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers”. This will be a fun program, and we all know the food is very good!!

Of course, you all didn’t come to hear the piano or even me! Everyone came to hear David Harney. Last May, Dave had a very serious heart attack and was close to singing for a new audience in Heaven. But, his life was spared and he is able to continue his ministry across the country once again. Dave’s music style is mostly Country Gospel. He intertwines his music with stories and jokes. Listen to Dave’s program HERE.

After David’s performance I introduced our program for March. We will have one of our own, Charlie Pagnard, provide another great Trumpet Concert. Charlie does a great variety of music and also tells fun stories. I have never figured out how so much weird stuff could happen to one guy! You will not want to miss our March 8th Luncheon with Charlie.

How could we have a luncheon without something delicious to eat. This meal was very fitting for the day. We started with a nice Cottage Cheese Salad followed by piping hot Chili and Corn Bread followed by desert of a Cherry Crumble Cobbler.
