Keenagers Off To The Mountains: This Tuesday
The apples are in and it is time for our over 50 group journey up to Hendersonville, NC to purchase their favorites. Cat Elks has a perfect day planned. We will visit several different orchards where you can taste test the produce. As usual, we will eat at the Golden Corral before we head home. The conversations are so encouraging as we make this two hour trip. There is a sign-up sheet in the foyer at the church.
Ladies Meeting For Those Attending The Getaway In November Following Worship
We are expecting a good group of ladies to attend the Getaway in Myrtle Beach. With this in mind, Peggy Self would like to meet with those going to make sure we have room assignments correct and to answer any questions. They will meet at the front of the sanctuary following morning worship. Please reach out to Peggy if you cannot attend.
Choir Practice Has Begun
Each Sunday afternoon from 5 til 6:30, Kristi Harmon will help us use our vocal chords to praise our wonderful Lord. The time is full of inspiration, laughter and fun.

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.

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,
Our church is alive and well with many activities that I hope you are able to enjoy. From apple pickings to wedding showers, the Lord has been good. We also have many serious prayer requests: Our hearts go out to Dez and Brianna Roof who had a miscarriage on Friday. May God comfort their hearts. Cindy Moody is in the hospital. Don Freeman had a critical pet scan on Friday and an mri on Saturday. May the results be positive. Curtis Martin continues to struggle with pain that limits his ability to do things. Jim Lowrimore is supposed to be released from Lexington medical center soon. Terry Hook received an all clear report from his pet scan. Thank the Lord. Nancy Freeman is having some difficulty as she recovers from knee surgery. Rachael Watts will have shoulder surgery on Tuesday. I will have foot surgery on Wednesday. Gary Self will have open heart surgery on October 2nd.
God Bless,
Pastor Bill
