Primetimers

The Corinthian Prime Timers are a Senior group who meet primarily to serve in the areas of christian fellowship and support for each other. We meet monthly with some activity. We may have a dinner meeting with a speaker, travel to an area of interest, attend a movie and have lunch.

Presently in September we are scheduled to travel to Memphis, Tennessee for several days. We are yet open to reservations for that trip.

In addition to having group officers there is a Steering Committee who plan the activities according to the interest of the group.

Prime Timers was organized in 1993 and has the following mission: "TO PROMOTE, SUPPORT SENIORS IN THE AREAS OF CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP, SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING."

We are open to new members who enjoy functioning with a group that care for each other.
