This morning will be the Installation & Ordination of the new officers for the Consistory during the morning worship. Our thanks to Steve Beenken, Jim Franzen, Jason Heyer, and Rod Beenken, Ted Hoover and Jerry Baade for faithfully serving our church this past year. Jim, Jerry, and Ted will be stepping down to allow Craig Heyer, Darren Poeppe, and Gene Uken to take their place on the consistory. Please pray for these men in the service they have been called to do.

Thinking ahead to the new year, our church will be celebrating 140 years of service to the Lord. If there is anyone who has any ideas or would be willing to help organize something for this special anniversary of the church, please speak to one of the consistory members.

Operation Christmas, Child Shoe Boxes for January 2026 will be hats, gloves/mittens and socks. Don’t forget to look on line at Amazon. They often have bulk items for a good price. These boxes are for boys and girls ages 2-14. A plastic shoebox is placed in the Narthex for your donations. Thanks

Next Sunday, February 8, the YF kids will sponsor a Spaghetti meal. A Free Will donation will be received and go towards the MS retreat and Rock Mountain High Trips.

Our deepest sympathies are extended to the family and friend of Katherina Everding, who passed away on Thursday. Services were held here yesterday.

Ladies are reminded if they did not provide bars, to give $5 towards the funeral expenses. This can be paid to Katherine, Sharon, Terri or Becky. Thank you.

As 2026 has started the year has many exciting events taking place, Ramsey will turn 140 on May 10th and Youth Fellowship will attend Rocky Mountain High in Estes Park, CO July 25 - 29. To commemorate a significant date and for a YF shirt to attend camps t-shirts were designed as a fundraiser for the Youth Fellowship. Shirts were designed to represent our church congregation as a family and to symbolize we are the church; the YF shirt came about through moments of YF sayings that are often referenced by the YF. Cost is $20 for each shirt; if you order a 2XL add $2, 3XL add $3, 4XL add $4. Checks are to be made out to Ramsey Sunday School. The deadline to order is February 15, 2026. Anyone wanting to order that is not currently around Ramsey contact Madison Beenken: [email protected] or 515-341-2247. Not wanting a shirt, donations are gladly accepted as well. The congregation shirt is Black and the YF shirt is the Tie Dye - Tie Dye shirt is not limited to just the YF!

A THANK YOU for those who remember to put good, used Christian Literature in the basket in the library. I've been able to send several boxes to LOVE PACKAGES in Illinois every other month for the past years. Every Bible, devotional and solid Christian materials are put to good use all over the world. In fact, LOVE PACKAGES sent out 106 shipping containers to ports around the world. God's word does NOT return void!!!

Please, continue to contribute your used, but not written in, solid Christian literature. They also need volunteer help to do warehouse work. Sounds like a mission trip to me. Butler, Illinois, is only a 7 hr. drive away. Check out their page.
