Grow In Faith
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another–and all the more as you see the Day approaching. – Hebrews 10:25
Due to Covid-19, small groups are not meeting right now.
Young at Heart
“I see no good reason to start acting my age.”
“The heart that loves is always young.”
“You can’t help getting older but you don’t have to get old”
Young at Heart by Shirley Hile Powell
My body grows old and weary
Yet my heart is young and gay.
Old age reaches out to claim me
But I’ll fight him all of the way.
Nay, I’ll not give in to pity,
My laughter will keep me free.
I’ll not grow old just yet,
There’s too much I want to see.
Pain and suffering I’ll push to aft.
I’ll keep smiles upon my face.
Old age and I run neck and neck
But I plan to win the race.
Whatever God has in store for me
And whatever old age imparts,
There’s one thing that I pray for
And that’s to remain YOUNG AT HEART.
Come to our Young at Heart luncheons when they start up in the fall and you will meet lots of nice people who are staying YOUNG AT HEART. We will also have Day Trips to keep you active.
