                         Monday, July 22, 2024

  Ms. SPANBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Winners Church of 
Dumfries, Virginia and extend my congratulations to them on the 
completion of their new church building. This expansion will enable 
them to continue their mission of service to the community.
  Winners Church has served the people of Virginia's Seventh 
Congressional District for more than 13 years. Under the direction of 
Senior Pastor Henry Godwin, Winners Church has enriched the lives of 
Dumfries residents by fostering a sense of community and providing 
invaluable support to their congregants. This new building serves as a 
symbol of the continued dedication to service that Winners Church 
nurtures in their community and will continue to grow through their 
love and faith.
  The mission of Winners Church is to be a place where overcomers are 
raised, hope is restored, purpose is realized, and potential is 
maximized. Since the church's founding in December of 2010, they have 
continuously provided for their community through annual events such as 
the turkey giveaway, back to school giveaway, tissue drive, and 
quarterly visits to shelters and assisted living homes throughout 
Dumfries. I applaud Pastor Godwin and the entire Winners Church family 
for their tireless work to develop a welcoming environment for the 
people of Dumfries and beyond, and for the support they have provided 
to our community.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating Winners 
Church on the opening of their new house of worship. This remarkable 
achievement is a testament to their unwavering dedication and their 
deep commitment to serving the people of Dumfries, Virginia.
