In honor of our Lord's birth this Christmas, The Church of God sent offerings of love, cards from various states and nations, and pictures to our General Overseer and his wife. We were blessed to have the opportunity to incorporate these mementos of love into a large Christmas wreath and present it to them at General Headquarters just before Christmas on December 19, 2012. The Lord has blessed The Church of God with anointed leadership who serve us well. Thank you for every contribution that is here or on its way. May the Lord bless and keep each of you in the shelter of His Fold.
