“For from the greatness and the beauty of created things

comes a corresponding perception of their Creator.”

– Wisdom 13:5

My grandsons have started a nature exhibit on the back porch of the parsonage with items

they’ve picked up on their local explorations. Included in the collection so far is an 18

inch long snake skin (found by a hole under the front sidewalk), some bulbs (tulip?) that

were undoubtedly dug up by a deer (their hoof prints gave them away), a dissected owl pel-

let complete with several small rodent bones and an intact skull (“Awesome!” they said as

the bones appeared among the fur), a leg bone from some mid-sized creature (we’re guess-

ing a groundhog), and an assorted collection of rocks (“Look, Mumum! This one has gem

stones inside it!”).

What I love most, though, are the questions: How does that seed know to grow up to be a

flower and not a cucumber? Where do deer go during a thunder storm? Why doesn’t the

owl choke on the vole? How does a bee make honey?

Recently Pope Francis got some flak for his encyclical, “Laudato Si’, mi’ Signore (Praise

Be to You, My Lord) – On Care for Our Common Home,” but his teaching is not origi-

nal. Although tending the world we have been charged to “till and to keep” (Genesis 2:15)

has been politicized in recent years, respect, wonder and care for God’s creation has been

part of the Judeo-Christian tradition for thousands of years! When we take time to see and

wonder at the beauty of the world around us, we should be instinctively moved to praise

God, and hopefully, to do our part to ensure that our grandchildren’s grandchildren will

continue to be able to delight in the wonders of nature in their own back yards.

Wherever this summer takes you, I hope you’ll take time to wonder at the greatness and

beauty of the created things that cross your path, and don’t forget to pause to say, Laudato

Si’, mi’ Signore!

Be God’s,

Pastor Bonnie

SHENKEL UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST

DO YOU HAVE NEWS FOR THE

BULLETIN OR THE NEWSLETTER?

All bulletin announcements should be at the

church office by each Tuesday at noon to be

included in that week’s bulletin. Newsletter

articles must be submitted by the 15th of

each month to be included in the next issue.

“Flours” is a collection of pantry items or a

monetary donation of your discretion to the Clus-

ter. If a cash donation to the Cluster is made, a

wheat arrangement will be placed on the altar.

Food Sculptures are also gladly accepted.

Altar flowers are $30.00 and

bulletin dedications are $6.50.

You can also dedicate a Choir Anthem with a donation of

$30. With ever-increasing costs of choral music, this spon-

sorship will help stretch our budget and continue to bring

quality music to Shenkel. Dedicate your anthem to someone

special, an event in your life, or just to the fact that you love

music. Thank you for this needed contribution to Shen-

kel. Blue envelopes are in the Narthex for your sponsorships.

There are many dates open for sponsorship and dedication dur-

ing this and the upcoming months. Please complete one of the

special flower/bulletin/anthem envelopes below the sign-up

chart, enclose your payment, and either put it in the collection

plate or in the Secretary’s box by the office door. You should

sign your name on the chart in the narthex by the appropriate

date after you have completed your envelope.

Shenkel UCC celebrates the sacrament of

Holy Communion at both services on the first

Sunday of each month. Each time commun-

ion is served, some of the bread and non-

alcoholic wine that has been consecrated at

the altar will be saved in a traveling commun-

ion kit, ready to go to the homes or hospital

rooms of members who were unable to be

present, and would like to receive the sacra-

ment. Please let Pastor Bonnie know if you,

or someone you know, would appreciate

“distance-communing” with their Shenkel

Church family!

The Special Offering for July benefits the Bill Boyer Scholarship

Award. This scholarship was established to help further the education

of students who are members of Shenkel UCC and have completed high

school, or for mission work associated with technical and trade endeav-

ors. Applications , available from the church office, are due by February

15th of each year, and awards are announced by April 15th of each year.

In August, our offerings will benefit the North Coventry Meals on

Wheels program. Meals on Wheels of Chester County (MOWCC) serves hundreds of home-

bound citizens throughout the county. Please be as generous as you can.

Calling all

your order and payment (cash or checks payable to Shenkel

UCC) in the envelopes found by the bulletins in the narthex.

Envelopes can be placed directly in the offering plate. Your

cards will be available for pick up the following Sunday in

the narthex, again by the bulletins. Card denominations are

$25, $50 and $100. There is no additional charge for the

cards and you can continue to use and accumulate points

on your Bonus/Gas Cards. Shenkel earns 5% back on all

gift cards. So far, we’ve made over $1,100 through both

stores. Easy money for Shenkel and no extra cost for you.

Let’s keep it going!

Church Survey -

The PRC has heard your feed-back regarding our personnel, facility and services. We re-ceived approximately forty re-sponses and the feedback was mostly positive. We have for-warded our comments for review and action by the proper committees and will be following up to implement any changes over the next cou-ple months. If you would like more information about the results, please contact a member of the PRC.

the nursery, or in the box located on the coat rack

SUMMER CAMP AT GRETNA GLEN The tradition of summer camp at Gretna Glen has deep roots as we celebrate 55 years of pro-gramming this summer. 200 acres of scenic hills and woodlands are ideal for day and overnight camp. The opportunities for children & youth to explore nature, develop friendships, broaden their experiences and embrace their faith journey at Gretna Glen are never-ending. Be assured that the safety of Gretna Glen summer campers and guests is something we take seriously. In order to provide a “Safe Sanctuary,” we carefully select staff members and volunteers through an application proc-ess that requires references, background checks, and child abuse clearances. Staff and Volunteers are trained be-fore working with campers. Our campsite is accredited by the American Camp Association. To earn accreditation, Gretna Glen complies with more than 300 health, safety and program quality standards. We are also members of the Christian Camp and Conference Association.

CAMPING PROGRAM OPPORTUNITIES are

available for day camps, overnight camps for both children and youth. Please remember that Skenkel will reim-burse 50% of camp registration fees to any camper from our church. For more information, please visit

ZOOK’S Chicken, Beef Meat Pies and Apple Dumpling Fundraiser

when we will be placing another order, we can start now. We are adding 6" pies and also offering beef as a

choice. We will have a sign-up sheet in the office and envelopes in the narthex. You can drop your order enve-

lope in the offering plate or give your order to Lynne Moyer or to the church office. Payment must accompany

GOOD TO KNOW…. PAGE 12

Community Labor Day Weekend

Worship

Sunday, September 6 – 10 am

In Shenkel’s Grove

As of now, six churches will be participating! Invite

your friends and neighbors, pack your lawn chairs or

blankets, and don’t miss this wonderful opportunity

for community worship with food and fellowship fol-

lowing the service.

Please note, communion in September will be served

on the second Sunday, September 13, due to the

Community service being held on September 6.

Share Your Thoughts! In June of 2014, Consistory made a deci-

sion to continue the 8:30 and 10:45 ser-

vices of worship every Sunday through

Pentecost, with no further discussion to

be held on the topic for an entire

year. Well... the year is up, and the request to consider keep-

ing one Sunday morning service year round has arisen (via the

annual all-church evaluation) once again.

On Sunday, July 12, during the fellowship time following wor-

ship, Consistory will host a discussion about the pros and cons

of moving to one Sunday service of worship vs. continuing

with two worship services during the school year. If you have-

n't already shared your viewpoint with someone on the Music

and Worship Committee or Consistory, or if you're just curious

what others are thinking, please plan to join the conversation!

If you are unable to be present on the 12th, it will be helpful if

you would speak with anyone on Consistory to add your per-

spective. Please consider your and your family's personal feel-

ings, as well as the possible impact of the decision on the

Shenkel community as a whole, and, on visitors to worship.

"Outside the box" thinking and specific concerns and ideas will

be especially gratefully received.

We will not be voting on the 12th, however Consistory will

appreciate all feedback.

Thank you,

The Shenkel Consistory: Brenda Berriker, Chris Gray, Sherri

Mocarski, Lynne Moyer, Sandy Peterman, Kim Yocom, Julie

Zachesky

All of our wonderful choirs are

on summer break. Enjoy your

extra free time and we’ll see you

in back in September!

SHARING WITH OUR CHURCH FAMILY ….

Carl and Marie Bade

thank all of the Shenkel

cards, calls and visits while recuperating

from Marie's operation and Carl's back

of kindness, the concerns and

prayers. Looking forward to being with

you as the healing progresses and we can

join you in worship and fellowship.
