Welcome to Columbia’s 2019 Watch Night Service. Many of us wait in anticipation of the year 2020. Some are graduating, some getting married all of us are hoping and wishing for bigger and better, glad tidings and goodwill. We hope to see positive change in our lives, our community and our world.

I want what God has prepared for me
