Rev. Rob MacDougall,
WI Conference Associate Conference Minister
to take leave time/sabbatical beginning August 1, 2021
Rob has served the Wisconsin Conference for the past six years and has been granted a three month sabbatical. Arrangements had been made for Rob to begin his sabbatical on August 22, however, Rob’s leave time has been moved up because of family medical concerns. Rob’s wife Wendy was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer at the beginning of July and he has turned his attention toward her care and treatment. The MacDougalls are encouraged by Wendy’s medical team, her early treatments and the love and prayers offered by so many friends, churches and colleagues. The Wisconsin Conference is supporting Rob’s need to be with his wife and family at this time.
While Rob is on leave his responsibilities will be covered by other Conference ministers and Rev. Dale Bishop. Please reach out to Rev. Franz Rigert (frigert@wcucc.org; 414-704-2625) and Rev. Bishop (dbishop511@frontier.com; 715-891-5052) with your concerns and questions. Rob has passed on information to them, but feel free to initiate contact with them as they get acquainted with transitions and concerns in your church and the life of our pastors.
