OWLS

to Brookwood Community

A small group of OWLs (Older Wiser Lutherans) drove down to the Brookwood Community on April 10 for a tour, lunch and shopping. Rich Evans, David & Linda Bade, Maxine Hinze, Melinda Grant and Linda Snyder were inspired and impressed with the facility and what the residents are able to do. They would love to share about their visit and plan to go again next year. Brookwood was founded in 1983. It is a God-centered non-profit residential and vocational community for adults with disabilities. It is located on 485 acres.

Happy 80th Rich Evans!

The Older Wiser Lutherans surprised Rich Evans on his 80th birthday with lunch at Koppe Bridge. There is talk of starting a monthly birthday celebration throughout the year. More details to come.

Ladies of Peace,

Thank you so very much for the beautiful prayer shawl that you made for me. I took it to the hospital with me and always had it near. More than anything, thank you for the prayers. I feel they have been answered as I am doing great!
