November 25th, 2006 by Bob Buehler
On November 19, 2006, the Rev. Shannon Buehler was ordained to the Christian ministry at her home congregation, the Marbury Church of God. Her husband, Pastor Bob Buehler, and neighboring pastor, the Rev. Tim Bean of the Marbury Baptist Church, each brought a brief message.
Ministers from the Chesapeake-Delaware-Potomac District of the Church of God were in attendance, including Ministries Director Wayne Harting, Credentials Committee Chairman David Harness, and former Credentials Chairman Jeff Tomlinson, who also served as the mentoring supervisor for Shannon during her period of evaluation by the Credentials Committee. Music was provided by the Marbury Church of God choir and by soloist Larry Oakley, with Joyce Boudreaux leading congregational singing and Ruth Ann Ferrell playing the organ. A reception and delicious repast were provided by members of the Marbury Church of God.
In attendance also were the candidate’s sister, Sequoia Edwards, from Albuquerque, New Mexico; three friends from the Buehlers’ previous congregation who traveled from Albany, New York; Pastor Bob’s uncle and aunt, retired missionaries, pastor and teacher Bob and Fran Clark, as well as numerous friends from the Accokeek First Church of God, and co-workers from Southern Maryland Hospital.
The Rev. Shannon Buehler began to actively respond to her sense of a divine call to the ordained ministry in 2001, taking distance courses from Anderson School of Theology, working also with the Credentials Committee on a course of independent study, and receiving her ministerial license in 2004. In 2005 she was recognized by her home congregation as Minister of Music and Worship. She has supplied the pulpit at the Accokeek First Church of God as well as at her home church, on numerous occasions over the last several years. Her husband of nearly 29 years, the Rev. Robert C. Buehler, expressed his delight with and support for this step in her ministry, and the two of them look forward to working together as a team in their current assigment in Charles County, Maryland. She will continue to support her husband in his pastoral ministry, pursue her own calling as a preacher, music minister and Christian educator, and be attentive to further leadings as the Spirit of God directs.

Marbury Church of God.
Dear Beloved Sister in Christ,
Greetings to you in the precious name of the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
I would like to introduce about myself, which is a great privilege through the Lord Jesus Christ who died and poured His blood on the cross.
Since six years I am proclaim the Word of God among the Slums, Rural, Tribal and Remote areas. I am taking the support from my colleagues for the sake of the Gospel Outreach programmes. And I am also proclaiming the Word of God among the illiterates by SKITS programmes, to express the Love of God. In my working area most of the people were illiterates and daily wagers so the parents were not able to sent their children to schools for education. So that their children would become as child labours. By that reason I have counselling them to join their children in Government schools. I also conducting the children camps for their spiritual growth.
I am not working by any organization banner. I have no any support and sponsors. I am merely doing this service by faith and prayers only. I am praising the Lord that as using you a powerful weapon for the Kingdom of God. We are lifting up our hands in the presence of the Lord and praying for your Ministries. I am sending this letter to you with prayer. Kindly remember us in your daily prayers and your prayerful advises for the development of my ministry. Looking forward for your prayerful reply.
Thanking you Sister,
Yours in His Service,
Davidson,Pastor
