Worship With Reconciliation Ministries Choir
Next Sunday at 11 AM
First Family Feast Following The Service
We love when we encounter God and whenever the Reconciliation Ministries Choir leads us, the Spirit moves in a powerful way. There is something deeply moving about the testimonies of men who have been delivered from habits and hang-ups. Following the service, we will enjoy our First Family Feast. The church will provide the chicken, and we invite everyone to bring a side item, dessert or drink. We hope to see you Sunday.
Easter Schedule
Children’s Egg Hunt: Saturday, April 4th
Games, crafts and multiple egg hunts will have the kids laughing and smiling as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. As always, Ms. Martha will share the Easter story in a creative and engaging way. A delicious meal will be provided. Invite your children and grandchildren to join us!
Sunrise Service: Sunday, April 5th at 7:30 AM
“Christ is risen!” The message proclaimed to the ladies at the empty tomb is the same message we will celebrate together on Easter morning. Weather permitting, we will gather on the lawn outside our sanctuary. A delicious breakfast will follow in the Family Life Center. We are grateful to the Sulser men for preparing our meal.
Morning Celebration Service: Sunday, April 5th at 11 AM
Resurrection Sunday is one of the most meaningful days of the year as we gather to worship our risen Savior. Our praise will be memorable as we celebrate the hope and victory we have in Christ.
WCFN Blood Drive
Saturday, April 11
We have the privilege to host a blood drive at the church. The Blood Connection group will bring their mobile unit to our Family LIfe Center and each donation has the potential to save lives. Donors will receive an e-certificate and if 300 units are collected, the church will be given a special donation. See Cat Elks in the foyer following Morning Worship to sign-up.

The Church Want Ads:
Crisis Care Kits
When disaster strikes-whether from floods, fires, storms, or even war-many families are left with nothing.
Through Nazarene Compassionate Ministries, we have the opportunity to bring hope by assembling Crisis Care Kits. These care packages, filled with essential personal and hygiene items, are delivered to people in crisis situations around the world. For those who have lost everything, these bags bring comfort and relief. Each month we will focus on specific items needed for the kits. Please note that certain items must meet size, quantity and expiration guidelines, which will be clearly marked. Your generosity makes a difference. Thank you for sharing.
ASSISTANCE NEEDED!
We have several seniors in our church family who could use help getting to their doctor’s appointments.
Would you be willing to assist occasionally with transportation? This is an important ministry
and a meaningful way to serve those in our community.If you’re interested,
please see Pastor Regina to sign up.You’ll be a blessing to others—and you’ll be blessed in return.
Free Piano Available
We have a piano that is free to a good home. It would be great for someone who is learning to play
or for anyone who simply enjoys playing at home.
If you are interested, please let Pastor Bill or Pastor Regina know.
Ice Maker Repair Person
Our ice maker in the Family Life Center is no longer working. If you have the ability to fix such a machine,
please see Pastor Bill or MG Black who oversees the maintenance items at the church.

Thank You For Your Supporting Our Spaghetti Fundraiser
Because of your generous giving, our teens were able to raise the needed amount
for their trip to Nashville. Over $1,500 was given. A special thank you to Cat and James Elks
and Brittany Johnson for making the spaghetti and to all the ladies
who made the spaghetti sauce and the desserts. You are the best.
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.

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 have just returned from the Exponential Conference in Orlando, and it was an incredibly meaningful and beneficial time. I look forward to sharing some of the insights and encouragement I learned. As far as prayer concerns, Vanda Jennings and Alice Asbill's son remain in the hospital. Theresa Zeman's daughter-in-law has made significant progress for which we are thankful. Jean Carpenter's son DJ is home as well from the hospital. Others we are praying for: Curtis Martin, Jim Lowrimore, Terry Hook, Hope Addison, Linda Dent, Julie Leiter, Adam and John Lowrimore, Darrell Jenkins, along with all of our shut-ins. Please continue to ask God to comfort the Moody's and the Yandle's. Thank you for your prayers and support.
God Bless,
Pastor Bill
