Ministry Meeting

Sunday at 7:00pm

What draws people to WCFN? Hopefully it is our love for God and our love for each other. What keeps people coming? It is the ministries we offer. On Sunday night, our different ministry teams will meet to discuss future plans and upcoming activities. Tables will be set up for: Ladies Ministry, Children’s Ministry, Teen Ministry, Young Adult Ministry, Senior Adult Ministry, Greeters, and Security/Safety Team. You may have just the ideas and input needed to help make our next event a success. We’d love to hear your voice and see how you can be part of what God is doing!

Young Adult Game Night

Saturday, February 28 at 6:30

Our Young Adult Group (20’s-4’s+) has planned an exciting night full of fun, laughter, and friendly competition! Join us for: Board games, Card games, Strategy games, and games of chance or luck. Bring your favorite finger food to share as we enjoy an evening with this fun-loving group. It’s a great time to relax, connect, and make new friends-you might just have the time of your life! Need childcare? Babysitting is available-just contact Pastor Regina at 803-622-4583 to make arrangements.

Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser

Next Sunday Following Morning Worship

We have four teens representing our church at the Regional Top Nazarene Talent competition in Nashville. Angel Rivera will compete in a chess tournament; Devin Watts will participate in disc golf; Kendall Davis is part of the softball and flag football teams while Victoria Leiter will play soccer and softball. The competition will be held from April 9th-12th. To help with the expenses, we will have a spaghetti dinner following the Morning Service on March 1st. The teens will serve you in the Family Life Center. The meal will include a delicious dessert made by ladies in our church. There is no charge for the meal but everyone is encouraged to donate. Thank you for your support of our teens.

Our Faith & Football Weekend Has Been Cancelled

Rev. LaMorris Crawford has had to postpone our services due to new responsibilities given to him as the Carolina Panthers chaplain. He would like for us to reschedule at another time. Please pray with us as we ask the Lord for guidance concerning our Spring revival.

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.

HELP WANTED!

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.

A Used Washer

Mrs. Edie McAdams is a precious lady who is unable to attend church because of physical afflictions. This
week, her washer quit on her and she is looking for a replacement. Her funds are limited. Please see Pastor
Bill or Pastor Regina if you know of one that might be available.
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.

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,

I hope you got to enjoy this warmer weather. The sun just makes everyone feel better. This past Wednesday, we had over 80 people in attendance for Bible Studies. God is doing something really good among us. We also have a big weekend planned. Along with our normal Sunday School and Morning Worship, we will have a ministry meeting at 6:30 PM. These groups are essential for us to fulfill God's mission for our church. I hope you can attend. As far as prayer requests, Cindy Moody and Harold Finley are still in the Lexington Medical School. May God touch. Jim Lowrimore is in a rehabilitation facility in Augusta. Others we are lifting up to the Lord include Curtis Martin, Terry Hook, Hope Addison, Linda Dent, Alice Asbill, Doug Yandle's mom and all of our shut-ins. Thank you for being part of our church family.

God Bless,

Pastor Bill
