Gracious Seniors is a program for retired people of all ages, held on the third Thursdays of February, May, August and November. The group shares a meal at noon and then sees a presentation from that month's guest speaker. Our programs are very interesting and are open to anyone, Grace members and non-members alike. It is a wonderful afternoon of food, fellowship, and fun. Please RSVP so they have a ballpark idea of how much food to prepare.
The next Senior Luncheon will be held on Thursday, November 13 at 12:00 pm in Fellowship Hall (a week earlier than usual). Join us for a great American favorite food, Hot Dogs. We ask that you bring sides, salads, desserts, and beverages to share. For our speaker, we will hear Jann Huggens present “Black and White TV.” Most of us remember black and white TV shows, so this topic will bring back many memories. Jann previously presented a program about her training to be the first teacher in space. She did an incredible job then and we anticipate another exciting presentation this time. See you there!
Do you or perhaps a friend have an interesting hobby or pictures from a trip that you would like to share at one of our future Senior Luncheons? We have had some great programs presented by our own members and are always looking for more. Talk with Sandy Schantz (contact info above) if you are interested in sharing.
Past Gatherings
The most recent gathering was on Thursday August 21. The program following the meal featured music and comedy by our “Belznickel” Keith Brinzenhoff, who also sang and played several musical instruments. Everyone enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of entertainment with a PA Dutch flavor. The meal featured hamberger BBQs with shared sides and desserts.

On May 16 of 2024, Rev. Rachael Dietz and Chipotle gave an informative, funny, and touching presentation about the life and times of a service dog and VERY GOOD BOY indeed. Thank you to Al McCrae for the AV setup, to Judy Reppert for the Thrivent sponsorship, and to Sandy Schantz and Dennis Meck for cooking and serving the meal.
