The Compass Newsletter
South
As we focus on Christ during this Advent season, we are giving the opportunity to give a special gift that will be used by the Church of God ministries and missions.
Please use the designated envelopes and/or designate in the check memo with "CBO." Checks still need to be made out to "South Lake Wales Church of God" or "slwcog." Thank you.

Do you enjoy wrapping Christmas gifts and serving -- this could be for you.
