Remembrance Service for Reverend Charlie Shook
Sunday, December 15, 2 p.m.
In the Sanctuary and Online
Reverend Charlie Shook, the Chapel’s Pastor Emeritus, passed away on November 27th at age 96. Reverend Shook was ordained in 1951. Few pastors ever reach the 70-year milestone in vocational ministry, but Rev. Charlie did, preaching his final sermon at the Chapel in 2023.
Rev. Charlie is a Maryland native. He studied and then taught at Boston University, was a Chaplain in a mental hospital, and Pastor with a United Methodist Church in Ohio. He came to southwest Florida in 1991 and served at the Trinity Methodist Church in Bradenton before “finding” the Chapel in 1993. The Chapel is his twelfth church home. Rev. Charlie became Pastor Emeritus in 2010.
The Shook family, along with other families who have endured great loss recently, need our prayers.
Please join us online or in the Sanctuary at 2 p.m. on Sunday, December 15th to Celebrate the Life of Rev. Charlie Shook.
