The Sleepy Eye Herald Dispatch
Gina Nienhaus and Marcia Jo Marti of Faith United Methodist Church in Sleepy Eye are excited to invite the entire community to participate in a special Christmas Eve event, “A Light Shines in the Darkness.”
This is planned as an outside gathering on Christmas Eve. Sponsors Faith UMC, Sleepy Eye and Oakwood UMC, New Ulm are broadcasting a Christmas Eve program at 5 p.m. on KNUJ 860 and SAM 107.3 FM.
Marti said it will be a simple program containing passages of the Christmas story, traditional carols and some newer artist recordings.

Two kind gestures were a direct âhit to the heartâ for Trenton Deputy Police Chief Michael Oakley.
In a time when people are dealing with a raging pandemic, scrutiny of law enforcement and economic uncertainty, Oakley said to be on the receiving end of donations from the Westgate Cyrus Masonic Lodge and Faith United Methodist Church, both in Trenton, means more than people know.
The department received $1,500 in Aldi grocery store gift cards from the lodge and $1,100 in a variety of cards from Meijer, Kroger and other locations.
