The Pender Prime Timers Potluck Lunch will be held on Monday, Sept. 19, at noon in the Fellowship Hall. Bring a dish to share and come see what we have planned for the Fall, including a trip to the Riverside Center Theater for a matinee on Friday, November 4th, to see Driving Miss Daisy.
The Prime Timers group is made up of recently-and-not-so-recently retired folks, though anyone can join in the fun!
If you have any questions please email Cheryl Moxley.
This program provides the opportunity for parents or grandparents to meet and fellowship with other youngs. The program consists of the first 30 minutes of singing songs, age appropriate. The children then have a snack.
After the snack, toys are provided so the children, can play with the toys and each other. Grandmas watch the children and play with them while the parents enjoy a breakfast and visit with the other adults.
Everyone is in the same room through the program . This program is each Friday from 9:30 to 11:30am in the Cornerstone room of Pender Church.
The cost is $30.00 per family to help with the cost of food.
