Summer Sermon Series:
Like a vacation, the Bible has a way of taking us to a lot of wonderful places we might have never been. This is particularly true about the Psalms. Over the next month, each Sunday we will look at a different chapter in this amazing book that might surprise us with the sights and sounds. Please join us. If you are out of town, you can watch our service on Facebook or on YouTube channel. Just search under “West Columbia First Church of the Nazarene”.
Church Camp Touched Kids’ Lives
This past week, fourteen of our children along with three brave adults enjoyed a week of fun games and activities along with powerful services. The theme for the week was “Wonder”. Several of the kids responded to God’s call by going forward to pray. All of the children worshipped the Lord. We hope at some point our campers will teach us the songs they learned and especially the motions. Thank you to everyone who sponsored our kids so they could have this life-changing experience.
Teen Trip To Carowinds
Tuesday, July 1
Our youth will enjoy a day of riding roller coasters and sliding down water rides at one of the premier amusement parks in America. We will leave the church at 8:30 AM and we expect to return around 9:30 PM. The teens must purchase their own tickets online. This will be our first event for all kids entering the youth group. Please see Pastor Bill, if you have any questions.
Teen Bible Quizzing
Starting Tuesday, July 8th, any interested teens will meet at the Harmon’s at 10:00AM. We will have Bible study in 1 and 2 Corinthians, lunch and then swimming. We strengthen our walk with God, develop friendships, and have fun with competition on the SC Nazarene district. Please see Kristi Harmon for info.

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!
Grass Cutting Ministry
If you would be willing to donate an hour or so to mow
and help maintain the church’s lawn,
please give pastor Regina a call.
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,
What a great week for our children who attended camp! They worshipped the Lord and heard the good news of the gospel in a creative way. No doubt God did a wonderful work among us. I hope you can join us throughout the summer with our sermon series "Vacationing in the Psalms". As far as prayer requests, Roxan Weed has been released from the hospital and is in rehab. Please remember Curtis Martin, Don Freeman, Terry Hook, Hope Addison, Brenda Yon and her daughter, Betty Rabon, Jackson Lowrimore, Tina Joye and all of our shut-ins. Thank you for your support.
God Bless,
Pastor Bill
