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.

Haute Chocolate Day Trip

We visited Haute Chocolate in Cincinnati for our Fall Mystery Trip this year. Our group has never visited Haute Chocolate, however we did take our volunteers there, earlier this year.

Haute Chocolate designs their chocolates on premise and also have a nice shop for selling. They have some very unique creations. One of the creations that I find most unique is their “Deviled Egg”. I also like their Thanksgiving theme, Turkey! I haven’t decided who will eat either of these but will probably show them off during our Thanksgiving Dinner at home.

Haute Chocolate is located in Montgomery, Ohio very close to the location of Montgomery Inn. It would be a great idea to visit the chocolate shop immediately prior to having a great meal at Montgomery Inn. These are just a short walk apart.

During our volunteers event, we had a much smaller group, so we were able to do everything right in the kitchen of their shop. However, there were 40 of us this time, so we could not all fit in the kitchen. So, instead we were entertained in a very unique setting of a concept place with a large kitchen, dining and meeting area. This was an excellent venue with a very modern setting.

Of course we came here to eat, see how candy is made and try some of their fantastic confections!

Young at Heart Luncheon–Pastor David Kisner

This month our Lead Pastor, David Kisner, here at Washington Heights Baptist Church, told us about their trip to South Africa. It looks like it was a great trip to visit with missionaries, including our own “Dr D” (Dave Drullinger), our former Preaching Partner.

First we had a great Piano Duet Prelude by Fred Scheffler and David Brandt. We also sang along with them as they played a special number, “People Need the Lord”. Here is their Prelude Music as an MP3. You don’t want to here me sing.

David Kisner used PowerPoint to show photos of the scenery and wildlife around South Africa and also tell about their service there where Pastor Kisner preached and also taught pastors. His wife, Wendy, also taught in a school there and helped around the church and with Ladies Bible Studies.
