"Stepping Stones" is a social group for those in their 50's and beyond, that find themselves facing life on their own. The purpose of the group is for members to share life experiences together through creative, fun, supportive social gatherings and new experiences on a monthly basis. This group is an outreach of the Galena United Methodist Church and is open to all.
Stepping Stones meets the second Tuesday of each month. The next social will be at St. Matthews Lutheran Church at 11:30 a.m. on February 14th. A pizza lunch from Happy Joe's will be served and a collection to cover costs will be taken. A special presentation called "Census and the Stars", will be shared by Pastor Fred Baltz following lunch.
