REFLECTIONS:

 

How quickly the time passes as it seems a few years ago that we were there serving as your pastor. I think often about the years we spent with you, and for the most part with fondness. I believe it was those eight years at Ramsey where God taught me what it was to be a pastor - not a preacher, but a pastor. It was during this time in my ministry that He showed me what it meant to “Take care of My sheep”.

 

I want to thank you for your patience with me and your willingness to work with me. We enjoy the opportunities to rekindle old friendships and pray for God's faithfulness for each of you.

 

May He continue to bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you, and give you His peace.

 

In Him,

Pastor Larry & Faye Ten Haken
