Young N' Hearts |

Since the early 1980s, emphasis has been given to a work among the elderly, called Young "N" Heart. Those over 65 years of age are invited to a Bible class each Thursday at 10:30am. Following class, women of the church feed the group for a nominal fee. Afterward, the group enjoys an activity of entertainment or conversation. Todd Walker teaches the class and Miriam Olree and Beth Falwell organize the activities which include occasional trips out of town for food, shopping, sightseeing and other enjoyment.
