The first meeting was held on May 17, 2005 as an informal coffee and social hour. Twenty people attended, six couples and eight singles. This meeting was held specifically to determine if there was sufficient interest in forming a group, open to all ages as well as seniors.
The group was very enthusiastic about meeting monthly, having a potluck each time.
After a couple of months, it was suggested to change the original name of “Adult Fellowship of Friends” to OWLS (Older, Wiser Lutheran(s) which has since become Older Wiser Lutheran Seniors).
We meet on the fourth Thursday of each month except November, when we meet the second Thursday for a catered Thanksgiving dinner and social time. If we decide on a December meeting, it is also held on the second Thursday, usually with singing of carols. Each year we go to a dinner-theater play at White Pines near Oregon, Illinois.
A free will offering is given each month and monies collected are given away to projects at church or to charitable groups around the community. OWLS also hosts Sunday morning coffee hour periodically.

"St. Paul Lutheran Church is called to be an Inviting, Christ-Centered, Spiritually-Growing and Community-Serving church where we are led by love to implement Jesus' teachings."
