donnelly news

June 9th-16th

Welcome to another edition of the Donnelly news.  I want to wish my dad a happy Father's day up in Heaven

Since everything from community events to church services has been postponed or canceled due to the Coronavirus, I have decided not to list any events for the foreseeable future. Before you plan to attend any regularly scheduled events and/or meetings, please check to make sure they are still on. Since everything is constantly changing, please listen to local media and /or check fb posts for any updated info. Some of the meetings may be held virtually instead of physically. Also, some Donnelly business may be temporally closed, have reduced hours, limited services, access, etc.

Weather News:  some sunny, mild days has made it feel more like summer in the past week

Church news, some churches in the area are beginning to open up. GSLC -Morris has limited services inside Sundays at 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. Wednesday at the church. Also, on Sundays at 10:15 a.m., there will be a worship service outdoors. All three services will be the same. At 7 p.m. on Wednesday, there is outdoor worship at faith Morris. Please check with your local church for what their plans are. A reminder that you will find virtual services, devotions, etc. on fb, YouTube, local access channels and the radio for many area churches

ST. John's/Kongsvinger news: Rev Rochelle Anderson of Morris will be providing pastoral care until further notice, if you need care, contact the parish office. You can also watch our "virtue" services on Facebook.

The parish office is closed due to the COVID 19 outbreak, call 246-3211 or e-mail (stjKong@runestone.net) if you need assistance.

The year's annual rod and gun club's annual father's day fishing tournament is among the many events canceled already this year.

No decision has been made about the fate of this year's threshing bee yet, if you wish to express your opinion on it, please contact one of the officers.

I have brought my news box back to McCollar's Jewelry, and I will hopefully be coming up to Donnelly more frequently in the future to check my box in the PO.

The Rendsville 4-h club is looking for volunteers to weed/maintain/water the rain garden in Donnelly by the fire hall as they are unable to do it themselves due to COVID 19. Thanks to the members, advisors, and parents for all the hard work they have put into making Donnelly look beautiful this year.
