“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.
A Steering Committee of representatives from ten Sunday School classes provides guidance for future senior adult events, programs, and activities.

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.
