Brenda Yon
“A Honest Voice and A True Friend”
Last Saturday, Brenda Yon went to be with the Lord. For the last several years, she was limited in coming to church because of her battle with cancer but Brenda was a true friend and an honest voice. She loved the Lord and our church. As a hairdresser, Brenda made ladies feel beautiful on the outside and on the inside. She was one that clients could always share their problems with knowing they would get an honest response to their situation. Brenda believed the Bible should guide our lives. We are going to miss this precious lady and we look forward to seeing her again when Jesus returns.
First Family Feast Following Sunday’s Worship
God has blessed our church in recent days with many new people. One way we can get to know them better is at our First Family Feast. This month, we are celebrating the ending of summer and the beginning of fall with a cookout! The church will provide hamburgers and hot dogs while we will bring our favorite side items, desserts and drinks. This is a great opportunity for us to connect with our new attendees. Be intentional about who you sit with. Your welcoming presence may make a huge difference in their lives.
Ministry Cards Are Accepted
Thank you to everyone who has filled out our ministry cards and placed them in the offering box. Just this week, one of our visitation teams was used by God to encourage a lady who was in the hospital. At the time, we did not realize how significant it would be. There are a variety of ministries that we would love for you to join us. Please drop off your card this Sunday.
Church Yard/Craft & Bake Sale: Saturday from 8-12
Dan Felix has gotten together a fundraiser for our Ladies Getaway. Entrepreneurs and Do-It-Selfers from our community have purchased a table to sell their variety of items. This fee is what is going to help our ladies attend the retreat in November. We want to encourage everyone to come out and find that special bargain. It is also an opportunity to invite our neighbors to church. Many yard sale people will be there right at 8 AM so come out early to find that perfect gift or item.
Choir Gets Back Into The Sing Of Things
This Sunday afternoon from 5 til 6:30, Kristi Harmon invites everyone who would like to use their vocal chords to praise our wonderful Lord to meet her at the church for the first choir practice of the new church year. You don’t have to hit every note right or even sing a particular part. Our director will help us sound the best we can. This group has a lot of fun, joking and carrying on. If you have any questions, see Kristi or any of our choir members. God will use our choir to bless our worship services.

Lawn Care Specialist
The church is grateful to those who cut our grass. A nice kept lawn speaks to our community about how
much we value our church. If you would like to give a couple of hours to mowing our lawn, please sign up in
the foyer at the church. We have all the necessary equipment needed.

Wednesday Nights are Growing
Wednesday nights are full of excitement at WCFN.
Our children’s bible groups are growing each week.
We couldn’t be happier!
But, we could use a few helpers that love children.
If you would like to be a part of influencing a child’s life, please talk to Regina.
It’s a wonderful experience and, of course, our kids are the best!
Food Pantry Drive
Our monthly food pantry has grown to provide nourishment for
around 30-35 families. While we are grateful for everyone who is
bringing in goods, we realize there might be some who would like
to sponsor a family each month. The estimated cost
of the couple of bags of groceries is $30. We’d love to get 30 donors! Please let
Anne Shaw know if this might be your way of assisting this
important program and pick up a magnet in the foyer.

People have been giving to the Lord and the church. We can’t tell you how much this means to us. There are five ways one can give. We have resumed Sunday morning worship services at 11 am at the church so you may bring your offerings with you. Many like to use the church’s secure website (wcfn316.com) to give their tithes and offerings. A few might like to text their gift to 803-219-4288. While others will mail it to the church at 350 Wattling Rd, West Columbia SC 29170. If you would like me to pick it up or if you would like to drop it off at the church, please just call me to set up a time. Again thank you for your faithfulness.

Letter From Pastor Bill
Hello Friends,
I hope this email finds you well! Our hearts were saddened with the passing of Brenda Yon and Jim Lowrimore's sister Frederica. May God comfort their families. As far as prayer requests, please remember Gary Self, who is scheduled to have open heart surgery on October 2nd and Jim Lowrimore, who is in the Lexington hospital. Others we are lifting up to the Lord are: Curtis Martin, Terry Hook, Hope Addison and her relative, Jackson Lowrimore, and all of our shut-ins. On Sunday, we will have our First Family Feast. It should be a wonderful time of fellowship and food. The menu includes hamburgers and hot dogs. Thanks for being a part of our church family.
God Bless,
Pastor Bill
