Notes of Thanks
I want to thank the church for thinking of me with the large bag of Christmas goodies
brought to my door by Wanda Qualm. It really brightened my day to think of how much
time and effort went into this project. May God bless each and every one of you with a
healthy, happy New Year. –Char Uilenberg
(This fall, Ben Patzlaff enrolled in the Distance Education program of Western Seminary,
with the intent of becoming a pastor. He sent this letter in response to our church’s
commitment to support him financially as he pursues this goal.)
Dear First Reformed Congregation,
A happy and blessed New Year to you all! I hope this note finds you well during
these difficult times we find ourselves in. I wanted to thank everyone in the congregation
for your generous support as I follow God’s call into seminary. Some of my professors at
Western Seminary have commented about First Reformed providing or receiving great
seminarians like Jeff Hubers and Harry Koops, so they are sure I will do well following in
their footsteps. I pray for you all often, especially since last March, for safety, growth, and
that faithful discipleship may continue as we are challenged by Covid. I’m thankful to
have grown up in such a congregation that taught me what it means to faithfully follow
Christ even during difficult times and helped lead me to where I am today. I look forward
to when I can worship with you all when I come visit.
In Christ, Ben PatzlaffAttention young families and couples:
A New Bible Study Option: Want to get some helpful
information about marriage?
Pastor Mike will be starting a Zoom Bible Study on Tuesday, Jan. 26.
This will be a four-week course addressing marriage and how to grow in
one’s love for each other. The class will be done over Zoom in an effort to
help young families who have children. It will be from 8:15 to 9 PM so
you can have time to get the kids in bed and also not worry about a
babysitter. You can enjoy the class right from your own home. It will
include video teaching from Andy Stanley along with discussion. If you
would like to be a part of it or have any questions, contact Pastor Mike.
