Best Thanksgiving Grocery Getaway To Date
Thank you so much for providing turkeys and side items that allowed our Food Pantry Ministry Team to give sixty-five families their full Thanksgiving meal this year. With the difficult economic situation many are facing, the lobby of our Family Life Center was full as we opened the doors at 9 AM. We are incredibly grateful for the fourteen volunteers that welcomed our guests and carried their groceries to their cars. The families were deeply appreciative for this needed gift, and we were able to invite them to be a part of our church. Our hope is that in the coming weeks, several will visit and discover what a wonderful church family we have. A special thank you goes to Mrs. Anne Shaw, who did an amazing job organizing this outreach. She also has informed me that we have one extra turkey for anyone still in need. It’s wonderful to be a part of the church that helps their neighbors.
5th Sunday Night Singspiration: November 30th at 6 PM
When I first arrived here as pastor in 1997, we held a service dedicated entirely to singing. Anyone who wished could bring a special song, and many who were a little bit too nervous to bring a special on Sunday morning found this to be a more comfortable setting. We enjoyed many duets and trios that you would have never expected to hear and they always blessed our hearts. We are excited to revive this tradition on October 30th at 6 PM. You don’t have to be the best singer to use your voice for His glory. Following the service, we’ll gather in the Family Life Center for an ice cream social.
Children’s Christmas Play: Sunday, December 7th
Our kids have been working hard memorizing their lines and practicing their songs. “Gloria’s Christmas” promises to be a powerful presentation that beautifully shares the true meaning of Christmas. Please pray that God will use this play to reach people for Christ.

Turkeys For The Thanksgiving Grocery Giveaway
With the current economical situation, we are expecting more families that will be
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,
November 19th. See Anne Shaw if you have questions.

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
