PrimeTimers    [Calendar of Events]

        Prime Time Ministries (Ministries to those
    at least 50 years of age) focuses it's efforts
    at social activities and spiritual events that
    enrich Midlife and beyond. It is our firm belief
    that our second half of life can be even more
    fruitful for the Lord, be significant for other
    generations, and satisfying for us...

     then 40 years attending Sheep Dip U before God
     called him to service at the age of 80 years old.
