From Pastor Tad
A Fond Farewell
Dear Friends,
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 says in everything there is a season, a time for everything under heaven. In addition to the things listed in this scripture, there is a time or season for a pastor to serve. For seven years I have found immense joy in serving with you in ministry to our community and serving all of you in leadership. Together we have celebrated births, baptisms, marriages, milestones of life, our 200th anniversary, grieved deaths and grown together as God’s family of faith.
By God’s grace, I have received and accepted a new call to serve as the pastor of Presbyterian Church Falling Spring in Chambersburg, PA and must therefore bring my time as your pastor to a close. My final Sunday in the pulpit will be June 7, 2026, and my final day in the office will be June 11, 2026.
I give thanks to God for this congregation and the beautiful people I have come to know. While there is sadness at departing, I will be forever thankful to this congregation for welcoming me in and giving me the chance to win my spurs. Boonville will always be the place where I learned to fly.
It is with a full and grateful heart, trusting in the steadfast love of our Savior Jesus Christ and the companionship of the Holy Spirit that I formally request the congregation dissolve my call as Pastor, effective July 11, 2026.
God has been good to us and will continue to be so into the eternal future.
Christians never truly say, “Goodbye.” We say, “See you later.”
Joyfully,
Rev. Tad Schuldt
