“His Name Is Jesus” Play:
Friday at 7 PM, Saturday at 2 PM & 6 PM, Sunday at 5 PM
Looking for a way to celebrate Christmas? Please consider going to the inspiring play called “His Name Is Jesus”. For ten years, this production has taught people about the life of our Lord and hundreds have made commitments to Christ. It takes place at the South Congaree Arena on 395 Oak Drive, West Columbia, 29172. Our very own Steve Steele plays Lazarus. Plan a whole evening around this event that might include a nice meal and then the play. Invite friends who might not know God. This could be the way the Lord reaches them. The production will be this weekend and next weekend.
Church Christmas Calendar Full Of Encouraging Gatherings
Church Chili and Other Soups Christmas Party:
Wednesday at 6 PM
There are many parties to attend this holiday season but most of them won’t talk much about Jesus. Please don’t miss the one that is all about our Lord. This coming Wednesday, our families will bring a bunch of soups to warm our bodies, and there is a good chance our conversations will be about our amazing God. After supper, we will sing a few carols and read the Christmas story. Pastor Bill will deliver a short devotional and everyone will be encouraged. This event is for the whole family, and please invite a friend so they can get to know us in a comfortable setting.
Christmas Sunday: December 21 at 11 AM
There are certain Sundays when it is especially nice to have the whole family worship with us. The Sunday before Christmas would be one such occasion. There will be special singing and the message will come from the birth narrative. It is also the day that everyone goes home with 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!
Partying and Praying The New Year In:
December 31st from 9-12:30
Our church has a party where we will play cornhole and board games while also enjoying a variety of fingerfoods that have been brought. Then as the New Year nears, we gather for prayer and testimonies.

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,
What an incredible Children's play we got to enjoy last Sunday! I have been singing "He Knows My Name" throughout the week. Thank you to our children and our Nazkids ministry team for an awesome job. I can't wait to see what God has planned for us this Sunday. As far as prayer concerns, Janice Lewis, Debbie Riley, and Betty Rabon are in the Lexington hospital. Elma Hendricks will be having surgery on Thursday. Please continue to lift up Cindy Moody, Curtis Martin, Terry Hook, Hope Addison and all of those who are battling cancer. May God touch. Thanks again for being part of our church family.
God Bless,
Pastor Bill
