Prime Timers

Prime Timers – A group of mature adults who gather quarterly, usually on the 3rd Wednesday, at noon. When together we share food, we socialize, we learn, and we have fun! Occasionally the group will take a day trip. Participants represent several faith communities and while many are retired, some participants are still working. All are welcome and Prime Timers are encouraged to invite friends or family members to our meetings.

PRIME TIMERS UPCOMING EVENTS

Prime Timer News

Hope you have been staying warm through the winter chill. Something to look forward to - our next Prime Timer meeting will be on Wednesday, March 19th, at 12:00pm at Calvary. Our meal will consist of a sub platter, chips and dessert at a cost of $8 (payable at the meeting), or you can bring your own meal. Our program will be a presentation by Christine Root about her recent trip to Africa University.

A little background on Africa University - The development of Africa University was a consequence of the growth of United Methodism in Africa. In 1984, two African bishops, with the support of thousands of African Methodists, issued the call to create Africa University. A plan for the United Methodist-Related university was presented to the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry in October 1987, and at the 1988 General Conference, United Methodists overwhelmingly accepted the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry's proposal to begin the university. In 1992, 40 students enter the faculties. Come hear from Christine what is going on at Africa University more than 30 years later.

Please let us know by March 12th if you will be attending the March 19th meeting (and let us know if you are bringing your own meal), so we know the count to place the sub platter order. RSVP to Sharon at kunkesilk@gmail.com (please note this is a new email) or call 518-368-3968 no later than March 12th.

Looking forward to seeing you on the 19th!
