Christmas Sunday at 11 AM
Jesus became a baby! Take a moment to consider that! God the Son, who created the universe, set aside His divine qualities to become one of us. What a sacrifice! This Sunday, we will celebrate this act of love for us. It is also a great Sunday to invite the whole family to worship together. There will be special singing and the message will come from the birth narrative. Everyone will receive 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!
Church New Year’s Eve Party
December 31st from 9-12:30
Join us as we gather to play board games and have a fun filled cornhole tournament at our annual New Year’s Eve Church party. The highlight of the evening is when we gather to praise the Lord and pray as the clock strikes midnight. The variety of fingerfoods that are brought are always delicious. The party begins at 9 PM and will conclude at 12:30 AM.
Teen Lock-In
Following The Church’s New Year’s Eve Party
Our youth are going stay up the rest of the night as we celebrate 2025. It will begin around 12:30 and parents can pick up their kids at 7 AM. The teens will play a variety of games such as dodgeball and basketball. We also hope to have video games for them to enjoy.
“His Name Is Jesus” Final Weekend Performances
Lives have been transformed at this inspiring play at the South Congaree Arena on 395 Oak Drive in West Columbia. This production begins with Jesus’ birth and highlights the other memorable acts of Jesus culmunating with His death and resurrection. This is the final weekend to enjoy this amazing play. The performance will be Friday at 7 PM and Saturday at 2 PM & 6 PM. This could be the highlight of the Christmas season

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.
