Young At Heart

The Young at Heart is a group for folks ages 50 and up, both women and men at Orange UMC. Together we aim to explore, fellowship, learn, and have fun. It is an opportunity to invite your friend or neighbor who is not at OUMC to join us and meet some new friends. Our group is self-sustaining, not requesting funding from the church. Contact Alice Finnell or the church office for more information.

On Friday, October 17, 2025, Young at Heart Visits the North Carolina Museum of Art for “The Book of Esther in the Age of Rembrandt” Exhibit.

Young at Heart is planning a special event for October 17th at the North Carolina Museum of Art. We have reserved a docent led tour of an upcoming exhibit The Book of Esther in the Age of Rembrandt at 10:30 am. This 50 minute tour focuses on Queen Esther from the Bible in art and popular culture as depicted by Rembrandt and his contemporaries. Ideas of political and religious freedom in the Dutch Golden Age are expressed in the art.

Lunch to follow at Bella Monica restaurant nearby. Reservations are required for the art tour plus a cost of $20.38 per person. RSVP to the church office by October 10th.

Young at Heart September 2025

Seven seniors gathered for lunch and lively conversation on September 19, 2025 in Pittsboro, NC. At Hoops Pizzeria, we entertained each other with stories while enjoying salad, pizza or sandwiches. Lots of laughter and smiles greeted tales of our travels, upbringing, stories about kids and grandkids, and current happenings. When we left, little did we know we would see each other shortly while store hopping in downtown Pittsboro.

It was a very fun afternoon!!

Delicious flavors of ice cream were a great way to welcome summer for 15 Young at Heart folks on May 22, 2025. We gathered at Chapel Chill Ice Cream Shop to enjoy homemade ice cream and to catch up on conversation with each other. Several of the folks had already tasted their ice cream and were happy to have a reason to return. The flavors ranged from Chapel Hill Toffee to Buckeye, to Maple Bacon and more!! At the end, a popular vote favored Chapel Hill Toffee as the most liked and their next choice upon returning.
