Christmas Greetings From Local Pastors in Buffalo Center
A Christmas message from Rev. Wm. Wigge and local pastors invites Buffalo Center and community to celebrate Christ’s birth with love and charity. The lengthy homily emphasizes that true gifts are kindness, health, and faith, not material wealth, and recalls the Christmas story and the world’s greatest birthday. A dynamite blast near a Bremer county road endangers workers but causes no injuries.
