Hello Young at Heart Friends and Family;
It was nice to see so many back at YAH today, after a two-week holiday break. Sadly we lost two participants recently. Euchre player, Mary Phyllis Centilli passed in early December; and Tai Chi participant, Bob Krueger passed on January 1st. May They Rest in Peace.
- Today was the first session of the Calvin College January Series. As usual, it was yet another fascinating presenter. I encourage everyone to go on-line, check out the list of presenters, and listen in! https://calvin.edu/january-series/speakers/. Next Monday we will be live-streaming “O STICK WITH LOVE: KING’S VISION FOR TODAY’S MOVEMENT.” Gregory Thompson is a pastor, scholar, writer, producer, and amateur cook whose work focuses on racial healing in America. He currently serves as the executive director of Voices Underground, an initiative to build a national memorial to the Underground Railroad in southeast Pennsylvania. Thompson is also a research fellow in African American Cultural Heritage at Lincoln University and the visiting theologian for mission at Grace Mosaic Church in Washington, D.C.
