Children’s Christmas Play: This Sunday At 11
One of the highlights of the entire year is when our kids convey the message of Christmas through a musical drama. This year’s production is called “Gloria’s Christmas”. The children have been working extremely hard at learning the songs and memorizing their lines. This play will touch our hearts and bring a smile to our faces. It’s so much fun to see how our little ones have grown since last year. A big thank you to Pastor Regina and all of her volunteers for their labor of love with our kids.
Church Christmas Calendar Full Of Encouraging Gatherings
Church Chili and Other Soups Christmas Party:
Wednesday, December 17 at 6 PM
Everyone is invited to join us as we share a delicious meal together. Our families will bring a variety of soups to warm our bodies while the conversations will encourage our hearts. After supper, we will sing a few carols and read the Christmas story. Pastor Bill will bring a short devotional and everyone will be encouraged. This event is for the whole family, and please invite a friend as well.
Christmas Sunday: December 21 at 11 AM
You will not want to miss the Sunday before Christmas. There will be special singing and the message will come from the birth narrative. Often families will gather after church to enjoy a meal together. It is also the day that everyone goes home with a treat bag containing an apple, an orange and a candy bar. Fill your pew with family members and rejoice in the Savior who has come!
Candlelight Christmas Eve Service: Wednesday, December 24th at 5 PM
Jesus is the light of the world! No service puts this in better perspective than our Christmas Eve gathering. We will sing carols, receive communion and most importantly, allow the Christ candle to light our candle signifying what He is doing in our hearts. If you have never come to this service, please consider making it a part of your Christmas celebration. Jesus deserves our praise!
Praying The New Year In: December 31st from 9-12:30
Our church has a party where we will play cornhole and board games while also enjoying a variety of fingerfoods that have been brought. Then as the New Year nears, we gather for prayer and testimonies.

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.

Encouraged By People’s Giving
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 can't wait to see you all on Sunday as our kids perform the play "Gloria's Christmas". Every year the songs they sing and the words they say speak to our hearts. Join me in praying that many will give their hearts to the Lord on Sunday. We would love for others to rededicate their lives to God as well. It has tremendous potential to being transformational day, so we know that the devil will try to distract and disrupt. As far as prayer requests, Nettie McGinnis' son Ray is in the Lexington hospital. Hopefully he will be coming home soon. Beverly Knight has had a turn for the worse. Pray that God would raise her up again. Continue to lift up Cindy Moody, Curtis Martin, Terry Hook, Hope Addison, Kim Kivett and all of our shut-ins. Thank you for being a part of our church family.
God Bless,
Pastor Bill
