Most every one has heard already I am sure that we are moving to Wessington Springs, Immanuel Baptist.
I have been reflecting alot lately about the ministry here in Winner.
The Winner Ministerial has been one of a kind, working together as owners of the Winner Thrift Store. And being a part of a ministry like that has been a huge encouragement to me these past six years. I think it was about five years ago that we bought the new store and remolded it into a great store.
Soon after the Baptist Church started building. Many preparations, talking with contractors and suppliers to make this huge project a success. It seems as thought we have been working on the new building forever but then again, it seems as though we have been worshiping in it forever. Praise God.
And then I was given opportunity to be the interim pastor for the Winner Ideal Perish. What a great ministry that was. I have made many friends, performed many funerals, a couple of weddings, a few baptisms and have seen God work miracles in the lives of the people here in the Winner Ideal Perish.
I want to thank First Baptist Church for taking a risk on this broken down carpenter:) We have cried together, laughed alot, worshiped our Lord, buried many, married some, baptized several, ate together lots, worked hard, grown in the Lord and taught children in AWANA. So much more I could say, but I will end with God is Good!
Hey Pastor Bruce, I had not heard that you were moving. Sad to see you go but we will be praying for you as you transition to your new church. Blessings on you my friend. I know you have been a blessing to the people in Winner.
I know the church well. We had our ” big” Church gathering there but we usually attended the Ebenezeer Baptist way out in the country. Shared pastor. The Little country church is no longer there.
Best wishes on your new parish.
