OWLS / Sr. Adults

Older-adults Wanting Lunch Served (OWLS)

OWLS is for anyone who fits that description!

Simple and direct . . . but only part of the description of this group: Fellowship is name of their game! The OWLS group was formed in the fall of 2005, in response to the desire of retirees to get together, have lunch, and catch up with each other. Led by group consensus, this group meets once a month to do their favorite things: enjoy good food and fellowship. During Advent and Lent, they meet weekly and also enjoy a special worship service with lunch afterward.

The OWLS are open to the community and would be delighted to have you join! We love to have guests! We meet for lunch – or brunch – and fellowship on the 2nd Tuesdays of the month, at 12:00 p.m. (During Lent and Advent we meet at 12:00 p.m. on Wednesdays to participate in worship and soup lunch.)

For more information, please call the church office at 630-665-3384.

Past events

Colorful Diamond Dots
October 14th

This month we tried something new, working with small Diamond Dots projects. Birds, fish and tree pictures were avaialble to select from and everyone got busy beautifying their pictures. We ran out of time and will return to them again next month! Although if you want to check out a box and work on a project at home in between OWLS meetings, please just call the office to see what is available.

Feed My Starving Children Outing on September 9th

This month was a special service focused month of giving back. We met at the Schaumburg location of Feed My Starving Children to help them pack food boxes to be sent to current poverty stricken nations. Then headed to Dino’s Restaurant in Bloomingdale for some refreshment of our own! All in all, it was a great day!

August 12th @ 12pm
w/Gail Harvanek

We welcomed Gail Harvanek, Professional American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreter. She taught us some basic signs, and about deaf culture. She also shared a few experiences of the changes in American culture towards the deaf community.

Crystal Garcia w/Carol Stream Public Library - Adult Programs

She came to speak to us about the different programs available to the adults in the Carol Stream community through the Public Library and offered to sign anyone up for a library card who didn’t already have one.
