Welcome to another edition of the Donnelly news. This issue is dedicated to the memory of my Dad who passed away on Oct 31st 2005

Weather news: several inches of heavy wet snow and colder tamps during the past week is a reminder old man winter is on his way.      There are only a few un-harvested cornfields in the area.

ST. John's/Kongsvinger news: to the best of my knowledge, the November schedule is the same as the past few months have been, with drive-in services on the 1st & 4th Sundays of the month at Kongsvinger and St John's at 9:30 a.m. and "Service of the Word" on other Sundays. No other activities at either church.

Rev. Rochelle Anderson of Morris will be providing pastoral care until further notice; if you need care, contact the parish office or one of the church presidents. You can also watch our "virtue" services on Facebook and YouTube.

 Due to the COVID 19 outbreak, the parish office remains closed; call 246-3211, e-mail (stjKongsvinger@runestone.net), or send mail (box 97) when assistance is needed.

Other Church news, Faith & First-Morris are both back indoors now.

 There is no meatball dinner at Faith or a Fall Festival at Kongsvinger this yr.  I assume this applies to most of the other fall church dinners in the area.

I asked a DFD member about turkey bingo, and they told me that nothing had been decided for sure yet about bingo, but they will probably just do the raffle rather than have bingo.
