When we moved to the Plymouth area 12 years ago, we had left many friends, neighbors, community and church connections and relatives that we had regular contact with. The trade off was being close to our immediate family and grandchildren.

Missing was a connection with people of our generation. We found that with our connection with Mount Olivet Lutheran Church of Plymouth which has become our church home.

That connection led to our involvement in a number of social and outreach opportunities. It also led us to become involved with the OWLS as an additional social outlet and through that involvement we were able to meet many wonderful friends and enjoy great social gatherings and other activities.

OWLS has become an important social piece to our lives, and we encourage others to also consider being part of the OWLS.

All seniors are welcome to participate in the Mount Olivet OWLS (Older Wiser Lutheran Seniors) events! No membership is required. We are a group who enjoy gathering for good conversation and occasionally food and activities (plays, tours, potlucks, service projects, etc). Most important is the time spent being with each other. OWLS usually meet once a month.

If you haven’t attend an OWLS gathering before, please consider this great opportunity to check us out, and maybe even bring new opportunities for the OWLS to experience. If you’re interested in finding out more about the OWLS, please contact Barb and Curt HERE, or to sign up for our email list for future events, contact Beth Mc-K.
