Mrs. Cindy Moody
“An Incredible Grandmother”
On Wednesday morning, Cindy Moody went to be with the Lord. This precious lady kept our nursery during Morning Worship for many years. She loved our babies and allowed our parents to worship freely because they knew their child was in good hands. Cindy was a loving wife and mother. She will be remembered best as an incredible grandmother to Eliza. The two were inseparable. Cindy didn’t just spoil this child but she taught her how to be respectful and kind. Cindy was a hard worker who always kept her word. If she said she was going to do something, it would be done. We are going to miss this lady dearly. We ask God to comfort Terry, TJ, Ashley, Eliza, Mr. Harmon, David and the whole family. Her graveside service will be on Tuesday at 2:30. The family will receive friends at Thompson Funeral Home from 1-2 PM.
Reconciliation Ministry Choir Joins Us For Palm Sunday
March 29th at 11 AM
God breaks the chains that bind us. No matter what habits or hangups we may have, our Lord can set us free. On Sunday March 29th, the men from Reconciliation Ministries will minister in song and testimony about God’s amazing grace and power. Following the service, we will gather in the family life center for a delicious First Family Feast. Reconciliation Ministries is a residential recovery program that is a highly structured, long-term, residential and discipleship program for men seeking treatment for substance abuse. It is located here in Columbia and has been serving our community since 2017. Pastor Lucky Detty leads this vital and crucial ministry. We will receive a loving offering to support this life giving program.
Keenagers Off To Lancaster For Irish Feast

The over 50 crowd is travelling north to enjoy a fun filled day with other Nazarenes from around South Carolina. Lancaster SonLight Nazarene church will host this event. Doug Hudson will provide the music while Pastor Richard Coleman from Lexington Shepherd will bring a short message. The lunch will have an Irish flavor while the games will keep everyone laughing.

Kids Talent Festival

Using our gifts for God’s glory is something we want all of our children to learn. The SC district Talent Festival helps make that possible. Kids may compete in musical and arts categories.

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.

Letter From Pastor Bill
Hello Friends,
What a beautiful first Saturday in March! I hope you have had a moment to enjoy. We are looking forward to worshipping with you tomorrow. Please remember the Moody and Harmon families as they grieve the passing of Cindy Moody. There will be a visitation for them on Tuesday, March 10 from 1-2 at Thompson Funeral Home and a graveside service at Southland Memorial Gardens at 2:30. Also remember Jim Lowrimore, all who are battling cancer and so many other diseases and ailments. God hears our prayers and gives us comfort and meets our needs. AMEN.
God Bless,
Pastor Bill
