“The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green . . .”
Psalm 92:12–14 NIV

PRIME TIME

Prime Time’s mission is to provide spiritual enrichment, fellowship, service and learning opportunities to ensure FEC senior adults are engaged, included, and cared for.
The FEC Senior Adult ministry has been active in ministry to First Evan home bound members through visits, phone calls, and written communication. We are thankful for the team of volunteers who strive to assure that our homebound are loved and nurtured. A Senior Adult Council has been formed to include leaders of various ongoing ministry areas.

Senior Adult Council Members Include:
Mickey Bowdon – Chairman
Cathy Graham – Ministry to Widows (ACT II)
John Main – Ministry to Widowers
Christy Bicknell – Ministry to FEC Women
Cynthia Johnson – Ministry to Homebound
Larry Fitzgerald – Ministry to Resident and Retirement Homes.

We have ten adult Sunday school classes with the majority of class members aged 55 and up. A Steering Committee of representatives from each of these classes has been formed to provide guidance for future senior adult events, programs, and activities.

Abundant Life - Brian Ward
Cornerstone - Allan Bowden, Sr.
Cross Generations - Bryan Miller
Bountiful Blessings - Larry Fitzgerald & Mickey Bowdon

Senior Home Bible Study

This ministry involves many of our elders and other leaders in the church conducting a Bible study in a retirement home, assisted living, or nursing home. This is truly an outreach ministry as the gospel is being proclaimed in these homes throughout the Memphis area. All the residents are welcome to attend regardless of their spiritual background and those looking into Christianity are most certainly welcome. Usually each facility will have one 20–30 minute Bible study per week. For more information about this ministry please contact Larry Fitzgerald at 212-6758.

Caregivers Group

This ministry is for men or women caring for loved ones. Caregivers meets regularly for lunch, fellowship, and to hear from various subject-matter experts. For more information please contact our Women’s Ministry Director, Christy Bicknell, or Sue Sharpe, 901-828-2624.
