Church Bazaar Fundraiser For Ladies Retreat: Saturday, Sept. 6 from 8-Noon
We want every woman in our congregation to attend the Getaway in Myrtle Beach on November 14-16. God’s presence comes so near as ladies from all over South Carolina gather to worship and praise His dear Name. The ladies will also make a lot of great memories as they spend time together. To assist those who might not have the $200 registration fee, Dan Felix has organized a church Bazaar for our community. A table costs $25 and this fee will go to help all of our ladies attend this powerful weekend. Please come out and support our Church Bazaar. There will be great deals!
Last Sermon On The Nicknames of God This Sunday Morning
Throughout the month of August, we have looked at different ways we can address the Almighty. My favorite is “Heavenly Father” but the two most recent (“The Troublemaker” and “The Consuming Fire”) have challenged me to think differently about the Lord. This Sunday, we will conclude our sermon series by looking at a nickname for God that they made a song about a few years ago. It’s a powerful tune that we will sing during our praise time. The passage for our sermon comes from Hebrews 13:1-8. God has been doing a good work among us and He has something special for us this week.
Ministry Cards Are Accepted
Most businesses accept credit cards for payment. Here at WCFN, we would like you to use your ministry card. Everyone of us has gifts and graces that we can use for God’s glory, yet sometimes we need a place to serve. If you will fill out our ministry card that comes with the bulletin on Sunday, we will find a place for you to minister. Last Sunday night, a good group gathered to discuss and make plans for the upcoming year. But we would love for you to help us reach our community by using your gifts for God’s glory. You can place your ministry cards in the offering box. Here is a list of the different areas of ministry: Visitation, Ladies, Senior Adults, Mens, Security, Teens, Maintenance or Children.
First Family Feast Returns Sunday, September 7th
Our church is known for its demonstrative worship and for its warm fellowship. We love to praise the Lord and spend time with our friends. Next Sunday following the morning service, everyone is invited to join us for hamburgers and hot dogs. The church will provide the meat and our ladies will bring amazing side items, desserts and drinks. Please plan to stay around and enjoy some wonderful company and delicious food. If you would like to assist in serving that day, please see pastor Regina.
Homecoming Set For October 26th With Eternal Harmony
Our church is in its 81st year of existence. We began in the backyard of Granny Senn’s home with a few of Rev. Capell’s family and friends. God has brought us a long way. At our Homecoming service, we will celebrate all that God has done for us in recent days and the past. Eternal Harmony is a men’s trio that has been ministering to congregations for years. This certainly will be a ‘hallelujah’ Sunday.

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,
Football season is here! I hope your team starts the season off right. Here at the church, we are in the middle of a great year with God. He is moving among us and each service is filled with His presence. Thank you for being a part of WCFN. As far as prayer requests, Claire Lowrimore remains in the Children's hospital. Hopefully she will be home soon. Don Freeman and Betty Rabon were in the Lexington Medical Center along with Jim Lowrimore's sister. Brenda Yon has taken a turn for the worse in her battle with cancer. May God bring peace and comfort. Others we are lifting up to the Lord are: Curtis Martin, Terry Hook, Hope Addison and her relative, Alice Asbill, Jackson Lowrimore and all of our shut-ins. Thank you for being a part of our church family.
God Bless,
Pastor Bill
