THE SD GIDEONS wish to thank St. Paul Lutheran Church for inviting them to give their presentation after last week’s worship service.  They enjoyed worshipping with us, talking with those whom they knew and meeting those whom they didn’t know!  The freewill offering collected for Gideon International was $373.  Thank you to all who donated.  Lives will be changed and more copies of the Bible can be distributed because of those donations.
