CELEBRATIONS

Debt Balance as of July 17: $124,928. Our youth had a wonderful church camp experience this year. Larry, Cindy, and Daniel Uhrick had an inspiring experience in Guatemala

working with Mayan Families and connecting with children supported by the Shiloh community.

Mary Ohanian celebrated her 90th birthday July 10. Andy and Jo Anderson celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary July 10. Lou and Marilyn Gladish celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary July 23. Congratulations to Luke and Michelle Keusch on the birth of Laurel

Catherine born June 26. Our children (and adults) had a wonderful Vacation Bible School

experience. Thank you to the many, many volunteers who have donated 1000’s of

hours to prepare the children’s education wing/PromiseLand Preschool area for the first day of class (August 17).

Pastor’s August Article I sent a note off to the District Superintendent last week sharing all the things that have been taking place this summer at

Shiloh. It is a long list. Let me summarize what I shared with the Superintendent with a little commentary/detail.

The first day of class for PromiseLand Preschool is Monday, August 17. We are on track to have everything in place at

that time. We have doubled our room capacity and can take on more students. (Help us spread the word.)

Preschool staffing is complete. Miss Jill (Director), Miss Donna (Teacher), Miss Carla (Assistant), Miss Lindsey (Teacher)

and Miss Amber (Assistant) anticipate an exceptional year with new curriculum and a renewed spirit of enthusiasm for

learning.

Virtually every aspect of the west wing has been cleaned, sorted, painted and/or refurbished. PromiseLand Preschool is

now a registered ministry. We are faith-based. We are working on becoming certified on the paths to quality. Thank you

seems inadequate for so many of you who have spent countless volunteer hours preparing the west wing of the church for

the opening day of preschool.

As you will notice several places in the newsletter, the debt balance stands at just under $125,000. AMAZING! I am

confident we will reach our goal (with God’s grace) by October in anticipation of celebrating Miracle Sunday December 6.

It will be an amazing celebration. Thank you to all of you who have given sacrificially to get us to this place.

We received word July 21 our grant application has been approved for $15,000 from the Center for Congregations. The

CfC’s mission is to strength and support congregations throughout the state of Indiana. The grant will be used to purchase

materials that support the preschool curriculum. An anonymous donor contributed Shiloh’s match to this grant.

A new Yamaha Clavinova digital piano has been purchased for the second service. It was delivered July 22. It will greatly

enhance the music quality of the worship experience in the Family Life Center. This keyboard was donated by a church

member.

We have also received an anonymous donation to help pay for the refurbishing expenses to the west wing beyond the initial

$5,000 provided by the Trustees. Another individual donation covered the cost of the vinyl in two classrooms.

Beyond all of the above, a donation has been made to establish a discretionary fund for the pastors. 4C’s out of Evansville

(who will work with us through the certification process) is donating additional funds for some of the equipment required

for the preschool area not covered by the Center for Congregation grant. The state fire marshal has made his inspection of

the preschool area and with a few minor requirements, we are qualified to open the preschool on August 17.

The Uhrick’s are back from Guatemala. They had an amazing time. Larry solidified our connection with Mayan Families.

He is excited and inspired. You will have a chance to hear his testimony on August 9.

It has also been an amazing summer for our youth from church camp to VBS to the “How Well Are You Without Water?”

camp-out shared with the Loogootee youth.

There have been challenges this summer. Not everything has been roses. The General Fund is $15,000 in the red but that

is so much better than $60,000 in the red one year ago.

I don’t know if you can feel it in my writing but a spirit of excitement is being felt throughout the church. God is good.

We have been and continue to be blessed. It is an amazing time to be involved in the church.

FAREWELL

As of July 12th I left my staff position with Children’s Ministry at Shiloh. I have enjoyed directing the Children’s

Ministry for the last four years more than I can say. The children, parents, teachers and the ministry they do

together will remain in my prayers. May God bless the children as they learn to trust Him! I look forward to

returning to the Shiloh family in worship and fellowship.

Teri Norris

To our Shiloh family and friends,

It is with mixed emotions that we say goodbye to our Shiloh family and friends. Leaving our church family is

probably the hardest part of this new move. Shiloh UMC is a great and loving church. We look forward to creating

new memories in middle Tennessee and being closer to family. Our new address beginning August 1st is:

Greg and Julie Oates

1095 Achiever Circle

Spring Hill, TN 37174

Email: oates.julie59@gmail.com

WELCOME We want to introduce to you Jill Harrison, the new Director of PromiseLand Preschool. Jill was the former director of the YMCA daycare/preschool program in Vincennes. She resides in Vincennes with her husband John. Jill began her work with PromiseLand Preschool on July 6. Since that time she has hired two additional staff to the preschool (Amber Gudorf as an assistant and Lindsey Leidgen as a lead teacher). Jill has spent much of her time updating policies and procedures in anticipation of the first day of preschool on August 17. Welcome, Jill!

We also welcome a familiar face to the second service. Courtney Heberer has been hired to lead the praise band in the second service. You probably know Courtney through the early service in a more traditional worship setting. Courtney also has a contemporary music side most of us did not know. We look forward to all that Courtney will bring to the second worship experience. Hello again, Courtney.

TITLE CHANGE Because of a change in job responsibilities, the Staff Parish Committee has modified Pastor Paul’s job title. It is now listed as “Administrative/Counseling Pastor”. Pastor Paul’s responsibilities have been expanded to include supervision of the staff. Pastor Paul will continue to provide counseling as he has done in the past.

Since the June newsletter printing Teri Norris has resigned as Director of the Children’s Ministries. She has worked with our

children’s programs including PromiseLand Preschool for several years. Teri will continue with Club 56 through the end of

August. As you see her around the church, offer a word of thanks for her years of service and devotion to Shiloh.

Jack Cartwright has resigned his position as leader of the praise band in the second service. Jack has been involved with mu-

sic around Shiloh for many years including the Saturday night service, the contemporary service Sunday morning and many

special services beyond the normal worship schedule. Jack is a talented musician and we have been blessed. Thank you Jack

for your music and all that you added to worship at Shiloh these many years.

Our sympathies are extended to the families of Edwin Kempf (who passed on June 27)

and Jill Harrison (Auretta Cave’s sister, who passed on July 17th).

The JOY group was held in the

Shiloh Dining Room in July and

had thirty-three members present.

A delicious fried chicken and roast

pork dinner was catered by Sanders

for all of us to enjoy. Lou and

Marilyn Gladish, along with Mike

and Carol Dooley, were our hosts

for the evening. Following the

meal, a dialogue between God and

St. Francis was presented by Mike

and Lou. It had all of us laughing!

We then divided into five teams for

a “Name That President” game led

by Marilyn. The winning teams

were the Elephants (led by Scott

Norris) and the Dogs (led by Vickie

Van Camp).

On August 11th, the JOY Group

will go to “The Patio” in Tell City.

For this month only the

“kids” (adults under 55) will be

This summer has been full of great youth activities,

and I would like to thank all of the adults who have

made these events possible. For me, the most

meaningful events have been the #HowWellRU

Campout and That Thing Camp at Epworth Forest.

The campout gave us a taste of what it’s like to live

in an impoverished area of Guatemala, and helped

the senior class raise over $1,000 for the clean-

water well they plan to have built in Guatemala!

Although I’ve often heard about how phenomenal

That Thing camp is, I didn’t understand the impact it

makes on our kids until I experienced it for myself.

We were blessed to share a cabin with Loogootee

UMC and Mishawaka First UMC where we quickly

formed a family bond with one another. At That

Thing I saw students overcome their fears, pray

with and encourage each other, worship the Lord

with complete joy and abandon, and step out of

their comfort zone to try new things. I was

personally blessed to be able to pray with students

in our cabin and at the alter during worship. Being

able to participate in that type of ministry with the

students was profound. If you’d like to keep up with

what our youth group is doing, follow Shiloh

Students on Facebook.

Blessings,

AmandaDRHadley

“The job of the Mission Committee is to identify the needs all

around us and then encourage and involve the congregation in

helping to meet those needs.”

The Uhrick’s build relationships with Mayan FamiliesThe Uhrick’s build relationships with Mayan Families Cindy Uhrick visited with the families of 5 students while in Guatemala. Building relationships with the

Mayan Families is her mission for Shiloh. Cindy is very effective at sharing God’s gift of love with these

families. Cindy is also willing to attend your SS Class or Bible study and answer any questions.

Daniel is also building relationships. He helped in selecting the food to be presented to the families and

also spent time building relationships with the children.

Larry did not get to build the crane as he had

planned, but he did have a great experience. God

had another plan. We often pray for God’s will, but

somehow we seek to do our own. Larry will tell his

story and show slides August 9th in our worship ser-

vices. Plan to attend!
