Prime Timers 50+ Ministry

Prime Timers is a group of fun-loving, seasoned folks having a blast on day trips, monthly lunches and other social engagements.  There are people who are married, single, widowed, working, retired...and if they are retired, they seem to be busier than ever!  Our ministry is open to any senior in the community, whether an Asbury member, or not.  There is no “membership”…just enjoy God's blessing of having been promoted to 50+!  Come join us at one of our events soon...we would love to meet you!

YOUR TO DO LIST

  1. Do this for me and your family – go to http://www.medids.com/free-id.php and print a FREE Medical ID Wallet Card.  Please keep it right behind your driver's license in your wallet.  I request everyone that reserves an event have a Medical ID.
  2. Make sure I have your cell phone number.  I also request you carry your cell phone with you on event days.
  3. My goal with the Prime Timer Calendar is to plan a year in advance.  So, for example, this month next year is already planned!  My SMALL REQUEST from you is that you keep me informed of things you’d like to do during a given month.  Keep your eyes open for events in and around town…chances are they will be offered same time next year, too!  This is YOUR group and I appreciate YOUR help!!!
