Our Second Half Group offers opportunities to connect, grow, and serve for anyone who is 50 years old or older. With special events scheduled throughout the year, there's always a new way to meet and connect with other members of the Second Half Tribe. If you'd like more information about the Second Half Group, you can contact Bob Evans at bobe@valponaz.org.
Monthly Men's Breakfast
Men 50 and older are invited to meet at the Viking Chili Bowl (105 US Hwy 30, Valparaiso) on the second Monday of each month at 8 a.m. for breakfast and fellowship.
Second Half Trip to ONU
If you are 50 years old or older, join our Second Half group on a day trip to Olivet Nazarene University on Thursday, October 5, 2023 for Prime Time & Grandparents Day. We will meet at VNC at 9:30 a.m. and carpool to campus. We plan to attend the Prime Time Day Lunch and then participate in an afternoon of inspiration and music featuring special guests and the School of Music as they host the first-ever Olivet Hymn Sing.
Both of these events require tickets purchased in advance. You can purchase your tickets at olivet.edu/PTD or by calling 815-939-5258. Let us know you plan on attending by registering below.
