Thanksgiving Meals For Those In Need
Our food pantry ministry continues to do an incredible job providing groceries to families throughout the year– serving more than 30 households each month. For Thanksgiving, we will again offer all the fixins for this holiday meal along with a frozen turkey. This year, we hope to give away groceries to 50 families. Because of your generous support, we already have all the side items and only need the turkeys. We will distribute the meals Next Thursday, November 21st, so if you plan to donate, please bring your frozen turkey to the church by Wednesday night. Thank you for your generous support of this important ministry. If you have other questions, please see Anne Shaw who oversees our program.
“Too Good To Miss” Sequel Sermon on Sunday
This past week, the message was about how wonderful heaven was going to be. From Jesus’ conversation with the Sadducees in Luke 19, we learned that there would be no marriages in heaven because our love will be perfected, nor will there be any aging because there is no death and there is no backsliding because our salvation is secure once we reach glory. Truly, heaven is too good to miss. This week, we will explore the new earth promised in Isaiah 65– a topic rarely preached on but filled with hope and wonder. One thing is for sure, the new heaven and the new earth certainly will be worth it all. Summer Mangicaro will be back to lead us in worship. Prepare your heart by listening to this week’s songs:

needing assistance for Thanksgiving. Each month, we regularly give groceries to
30-35 families. If you can help us with turkeys, please bring them by Wednesday,

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.

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,
This is a big weekend for the ladies who went to the getaway retreat. We hope they have a powerful encounter with God. With sixteen of them away for the weekend, the rest of us are going to have to sing extra loud at church. As far as prayer requests, Nancy Hall remains in the Lexington Medical Center. Tina Joye was released from the hospital earlier this week. Please continue to lift up Cindy Moody, Curtis Martin, Terry Hook, Hope Addison, David Harmon, Sr., Linda Dent, Ronnie Aguilar along with all of our shut-ins. Martii Jenkins has asked us to remember a baby named Cason who is in ICU. Thank you for being a part of our church.
God Bless,
Pastor Bill
