OWLS - Older, Wiser, Livelier, Seniors

OWLS – We’re Older, Wiser, Livelier Seniors who know how to enjoy food, fellowship and fun!  We meet on the third Wednesday of each month from 11:30 – 2:00 in the church basement.  A meal is provided for a cost of $5.00.  We ask that those eating bring their own table service.  (table service will be provided for those who forget)  The basic schedule is: 11:30 – 12:00 is gathering time; 12:00 – 12:30 is meal time; 12:30 – 2:00 is “fun” time.  Our “fun” is varied each month – in recent months we’ve played BINGO, played card games, had our handwriting analyzed, and learned about the German paper cutting art of Scherenschnitt.  The possibilities are endless!  Anyone is welcome to join us.  It helps in making the food preparations to know how many will be eating with us.  So, sign up in the narthex  at church or call the church office prior to each month’s meeting.

February 16th - We'll be celebrating Vacations and Valentines with a lovely lasagna meal.  Everyone is encouraged to bring favorite vacation stories and photos to warm us up in cold mid February.

March 16th - We'll be celebrating Ireland with a potato bar.  Our entertainment will be "From the Heart".  This quartet from the Kansas City Chorus of Sweet Adelines performs 4 part a capella harmony in the barbershop style.  They enjoy bringing harmony and fun to their audiences. Tenor, Linda Schumacher, is a member of BRPC.
