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.

Christians, Followers of Christ, Those who have put your faith in Jesus Christ! Listen to what Paul says in Romans 13:8-10 “Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
