GEORGE WOLDSETH, Pastor
July 30, 1986
Dear Friends & Fellow Church Members:
After serving the Union-Congregational Church for close to fourteen years, it is with great regret that. I submit my resignation as pastor to accept a call to Trinity United Church of Christ, St. Petersburg, Florida. My decision to accept this call was made with great difficulty and inner struggle due to the many warm friendships I have in Waupun and the good-will and cooperation I have enjoyed with the members of the church.
With the permission of the Church Council, my last Sunday in Waupun will be September 28 and I will assume my new duties in St. Petersburg October 5.
I want to thank you for your support, encouragement and cooperation over the years. Thirteen and a half years is quite a long stay in a pastorate. Only one of my predecessors in Waupun has stayed longer. I would not have spent that many years in Waupun except for the fruitful and happy relationship I have enjoyed with you. As I leave, I have many fond memories to carry with me.
Certainly I am excited about the future. I look forward to new challenges and opportunities. My prayers are with you as you search for new leadership. However, I leave a strong and vital church with able leaders; a church that will attract many fine candidates for the pastorate.
As you vacation in Florida, I want to welcome you to Trinity Church, St. Petersburg. I know from time to time I will continue to see many of you.
Peace and love,
George Woldseth
