Apr. 13th-20th
Welcome to another edition of the Donnelly news.
I am starting my 14th year of doing this “millioner takk” to
all my loyal readers who have enabled me to do this, the staff at the Stevens
County Times for giving me this opportunity, and my proofreader friends out
there who help me catch my mistakes.
Weather News: after a lovely Easter weekend, it has turned
colder this week with rain from late Tuesday afternoon to late wed afternoon and
is still raining some on Thur. a.m. as I
am putting the finishing touches on my column
St, John’s/Kongsvinger news: services are now being held
indoors again with some restrictions in place. Services are at 9:30 a.m., on
the 1st, 3rd, 5th Sun at Kongsvinger, the 2nd and 4th Sun at St, John’s.
Communion is on the 1st and 4th Sun of the month. S.S. follows services at
10:30 a.m. in the Kongsvinger parish hall. The Parish office remains closed;
call or e-mail if you need assistance. Rev. Rochelle Anderson is providing
pastoral care. Please contact a council president if you need pastoral care or
call her at 320-287-2663. As far as I
know, other than church council meetings, no other events (i.e. “ladies aide”) are
being held at either church.
On April 3rd, Halsey
Kay Searle (Brad and Crystal Searle) of Donnelly became the newest member of
Kongsvinger through baptism. She was born last fall, but I was unaware of it.
Grandparents are Lowell and Janet Searle and Rollie and the late Deb Henrichs of
Morris, and great-grandma is Agnes Searle of Morris.
Gslc news: services are at 9 a.m., followed by a limited
coffer hr. and S.S.

If you have not already done so, please return your options
for women’s baby bottles to the church A.S.A.P.
I have learned that Rev Dell Sanderson, long-time pastor at
Faith, is leaving later this year.
Please check with your local church for their latest update
on service times and details, and other events. Also, remember that there are
services, devotionals, etc., available on F.B., YouTube, church websites, local
access channels, radio, etc.
