Prime Time adult ministries is typically geared toward our senior adults 55 and up but all are welcome.
Genesis 1 Hikers – This is a fun, physical, once a month activity in which we travel to a state park, cavern and other points of interest in our area. It is open to all ages depending on their abilities to maneuver rough terrain at times. We try to keep our hike on easy to moderate trails. We do not meet June through August because of the heat. May and September, we try to go to caves and caverns to avoid the sun and heat. It provides a great time to fellowship and enjoy God’s wonderful creation. April finds us at Inks State Park for the blooming bluebonnets and Lost Maples State Park in November for the leaf color change. We leave the church at 8:30am, returning around 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon. Most hikes we take a sack lunch, but if there is a fun restaurant nearby, we will stop for a “Dutch treat” lunch.
Prime Time Game Day – The excitement happens throughout the year on the first Monday of the month (holidays move to the second Monday). It is a great time of fun and fellowship. We start at noon with a sack lunch and gaming begins soon after. We have a great time playing Mexican Train, Rummikub and 42. We meet in the church Café and play until 3:00. Bring your favorite game and join us!
Prime Time Dinners – Our senior adults have activities throughout the year except June, July and August. We try to have a potluck every other month. They usually consist of a theme that is helpful and of special interest to senior adults. Sometimes we have special music or just a time of singing and giving praise to our Lord and Savior. Occasionally the church will provide the main course, and we bring a side dish or dessert. We have been known to have a Ray Stevens impersonator singing the Great Mississippi Squirrel Revival and our very own church quartet! Don’t miss our food, fun, and fellowship. ENCORE is a special two-day version of our Prime Time dinners which is held each May.
