Young at Heart seniors group celebrates May gathering with music and fellowship

The monthly Young at Heart luncheon for seniors was held May 6 at First United Methodist Church, bringing together community members for music, food and fellowship.

Entertainment for the event was provided by the Amazing Rhythm Disciples Band, which performed a selection of old-time gospel music along with several “mash-up” arrangements combining hymns and secular songs. Band members included Henry Reggans, Johnny Dunn, Rodney Harrington, John Richmond and Keith Shirley.

The group also recognized May birthdays for June Durr and Deborah Caron, with Durr celebrating her 95th birthday this month. Pat Megason and Ken Megason were also recognized for their 64th wedding anniversary.

Harvey Polk served as master of ceremonies, while Gary Willis offered the prayer before the meal. Decorations for the luncheon were provided by the church’s Koinonia Circle.

Young at Heart meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 11 a.m. in Bostick Hall at First United Methodist Church. Organizers say the gathering is non-denominational and open to all senior citizens in the community. Attendees are asked to pay a $5 fee or bring a covered dish to share.

The group will take a summer break during June and July, with the next meeting scheduled for Aug. 5.
