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.

Christmas Luncheon–Burt Kettinger (December 13, 2011)

This month we celebrated Christmas in a wonderful way at our Young at Heart Luncheon! We started with some very nice piano and organ music by my favorite musicians, Nancy Jensen (Organ) and Grace Averitt (Piano). Then, I did my normal opening with jokes, prayer and recognition of new people, birthdays and anniversaries.

But our real program was our special friend, Burt Kettinger who came here from the Chicago area to do a Christmas Vocal Concert and speak. Burt has been to our church and here at Young at Heart a number of times and always does an outstanding job. He is a featured vocalist on “Songs in the Night” from the historic Moody Church in Chicago and does concerts worldwide. We are very fortunate to have him here and even more so to be able to have him for a special Christmas program. You can hear his concert by clicking the link below.

Of course, we wouldn’t be a luncheon without our meal in the gym. Today, we had ham and noodles, yams, cranberry salad and red velvet cake all prepared by Lisa and her able staff of cooks, servers and the various other help with the tables and cleanup. Greg brought some of the staff from Fifth/Third Bank to assist with the serving as a special service project for the bank. Thank you Greg. Next month Greg will be our featured speaker on the subject of the economy.

It was truly a great day!
