Donnelly news

 

December 22nd- 29th

Welcome to another edition of the Donnelly news. I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Most Donnelly businesses will close early on Christmas Eve and be closed on Christmas day. The same will be true next week for New Year’s.

Weather news, some light snow, and cold winds are a reminder of what time of the year it is

St, John’s/Kongsvinger news: services are now being held indoors again with some restrictions in place. If you do not wish to go inside, you may remain in your car and listen in on your car radio. Services are at 9:30 a.m., on the 1st, 3rd, 5th Sun at Kongsvinger, the 2nd 4th Sun at St, John’s. Communion is on the 1st and 4th Sun of the month. The Parish office remains closed; call or e-mail if you need assistance. For the time being, Rev. Rochelle Anderson is providing pastoral care. Please contact a council president if you need care or call her at 320-287-2663. Please contact somebody on the status of S.S. or other events before planning to attend any events in the parish.
