Can you align time on a colon using tabs within a table

Is it possible to set up tabs within the cell of a table in order to align times by their colon? I've attached an image. Right now I have the times centered, but I think it would be easier to read if the times were aligned by the colons. Any suggestions?

Actually, there's no need to enter tabs at the beginning of each line. Just define tabs in ParaStyle (Use Barb's or Jane's suggestion) and apply that style to the cells with timing:

Note the columns in the last cell are not aligned because there is no ParaEnd mark after 10:30-.

Insert it - and columns will align (because PStyle is applied). No need for actual tabs!

Thank you to everyone who answered my question. I'm feeling kind of silly after realizing how easy that was. All suggestions work well.

I actually have never been comfortable with Paragraph styles, so I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to figure it out, but the screen shots were very helpful. Thank you all!
