Prime Time: Older Adults at Central PDF Print E-mail
At Central, we include adults who are age 55 and older in our older adult ministries.  The older adult ministry at Central is called “Prime Time.”  Prime Time meets every month (except during the summer months of June through August) on the second Wednesday of the month.
  • The next meeting of Prime Time will be January 13th at 10:30 am in the Coltrane Room. Come join us for a delicious meal prepared by Donna Vanden Bosch and a program sure to be of interest to our Seniors. Susan Wear from Gentiva Home Health, who was part of our Resource Panel for Seniors in November, will be back with Dave Pfeufer, MPT, OCF. Mr. Pfeufer is a Rehabilitation Specialties Director and will present a program on fall prevention. Also, Andy will introduce Central's new Parish Nurse at this time. Please call Helen Griffin (704-782-5951) by Monday, January 11th with your reservation.
  • In February, Prime Time plans to visit JAARS in Waxhaw. JAARS is a non-profit organization committed to speeding Bible translations for all people. Watch your bulletins for more information about this trip.

Sometimes monthly meetings are held in the church fellowship hall.  At other times, Prime Time plans off-site adventures.  Past adventures have included trips to the Billy Graham Library, Johnson & Wales Culinary School, Levine Museum, Flat Rock Playhouse, and Duke Gardens.  An upcoming overnight trip is planned for Mt. Airy and an area winery.  The group strives to have something that everyone can enjoy during the year.

Prime Time meetings held at the church begin at 10:30 a.m. with a program.  A delicious lunch is served immediately after the program.  Reservations are required by contacting Prime Time’s secretary, Helen Griffin.  The reservation deadline is announced in the church newsletter and in the announcement section of the weekly worship bulletin.  If you are unable to attend the luncheon after making a reservation, Prime Time kindly asks for reimbursement for the meal to cover expenses.  The all-inclusive cost of the meal is $6 (includes entrée, dessert, and beverage).

Prime Time programs vary from month to month but are always geared toward the audience.  Past programs have included Scam-Proofing Your Life by the Better Business Bureau,  information on area resources such as Hinds’ Feet Farm in Huntersville, NC, and a slide presentation from local author and Central church member, Char Solomon, on her book, Tatiana Proskouriakoff: Interpreting the Ancient Maya.

Off-site trips are planned well in advance and cost information is communicated via the church newsletter and the announcement section of the weekly worship bulletin.

Additionally, each member of Prime Time pays monthly dues of $2 per person.  These dues are used to support Prime Time as approved by the Prime Time Planning Committee.
