Announcements

	Welcome, Visitors! We're so happy to have you here today. If this is your first time here, please fill out a visitor card so we can get to know you better.
	Blessings to all on God's holy Sabbath day. We praise God for every faithful worshiper today and pray for the Holy Spirit to rest on each member and visitor alike as we worship together.
	Sonlight Health and Wellness Center: The grand opening of the new health and wellness center will be tomorrow, Jan. 8, 2012 from 9:00 am-5:00pm. The center is operated and owned by local Seventh-day Adventists. The aim is to help restore whole body wellness the natural way through massage, hydro treatments, exercise, training schools, classes, and much more. At the open house you can get gift certificates, light refreshments, and much more. If you have any questions call us at (803) 667-9647. We are located at 4949 Two Notch Rd. Suite 201, Columbia, SC 29204.
	It seems like it's been a month since our last Fellowship Meal! Well, the wait is over … our first Fellowship Lunch this year will be held next Sabbath, January 14, right after Worship Service. Plan to join us for good food and fellowship. Bring a dish or two to share if you are able.
	WBAJ was off the air Sunday noon, January 1, through Wednesday afternoon, January 4, due to a fire at the transmission tower building on New Year's day. Because of your prayers and financial support, damaged equipment was replaced quickly, minimizing the effects of the enemy's attack.
	Sabbath ends today at 5:29 pm. Next Sabbath begins Friday, January 13, at 5:34 pm.
