TRANSCRIPT
Among the countless Christmas legends, there is a Polish one involving a Christmas spider. According to this legend, when Joseph was warned in a dream to flee from King Herod and the massacre which he
intended to inflict upon the children of Bethlehem, several animals from the manger decided to accompany the Holy Family on their journey. Each of the animals was determined to protect the baby Jesus, and each felt sure his or her particular talents would prove invaluable in that task. There also happened to be a spider who wanted to come. Yet none of the other animals felt the spider would be helpful. After all, she was only an insect. She had no keen ears or sharp teeth, no strong bones and no claws whatsoever. However, the spider persistently pleaded to be included, until at last the other animals agreed she could join them, provided she did not get in the way. As the journey unfolded, all of the other supposedly brave animals either were frightened off or else were distracted. With Herod’s troops on the march, and with the Holy Family growing more and more tired, Joseph and Mary had little choice but to try and hide. Finding a small and inconspicuous cave, they huddled inside, seeking shelter and rest, with the donkey and the spider their only remaining
companions. Holding Jesus in her arms, Mary gently rocked him to sleep, and, for a while, it appeared everything would be fine. The only immediate problem was the chill in the air. Seeking to be of help in some small way, the spider carefully wove a web over the opening of the cave to try to keep the baby warm.
The spider had just finished her weaving when suddenly voices were heard outside the cave. The soldiers had caught up with the Holy Family, and they were diligently searching the entire area. When they came to the cave where the Holy Family was hidden, both Mary and Joseph held their breath, certain their doom was upon them. Yet the soldiers passed by the cave. One soldier said it was a waste of time
to search it, since anyone who had entered the cave would have broken the spider’s web over the opening. Thus it was that the seemingly insignificant spider saved the day; and the legend goes on to say that this is why we hang tinsel on our Christmas trees … to remind us of the silver strands of the web which the little spider wove … and to remind us that no act of kindness, no act of courage, no act through which we seek peace with justice is ever wasted.
Merry Christmas!

THANK YOU – by Cathy Shaffer
Volunteers, what would ULC do without them?
We just held our 8th Annual Holiday Craft Show. On November 16th there wasn’t an empty parking
space to be found-cars parked along Washington St., in the grass, and in the cemetery. The
hallways of ULC (both levels) were jam-packed with folks weaving in and out of the classrooms,
Gathering Space and Family Life Center just hoping to find that special, “can’t live without it,” craft.
The line in the Family Life Center was at least 20 people deep –people waiting to capture a taste
of all the tempting smells emanating throughout the building.
How in the world do you begin to run this huge event?
VOLUNTEERS VOLUNTEERS VOLUNTEERS Larry and Carol Snyder search out only the best 85 crafters, decide what room will best
showcase their crafts, and advertise to snag the shoppers-a year-long process!
Chef Terry shops/preps/cooks for hundreds of hungry shoppers. He can’t do the job alone.
Preppers helped all day Friday and then began cooking at 4:30 AM Saturday. Our youth took
orders from the crafters and then delivered their meals to their tables. Dishes were washed; orders
were taken; Grace Bauer was the “Queen of the Hotdog Machine”!
How can you have a Bake Shop without all kinds of tempting goodies? Barb Stangle called
members and boy did they respond: cookies, cakes pies-oh my! Diane Gillikin and her right
hand man, Sean Nickerson, also were there to display and sell the yummy treats.
Dave & Deb Geiger and sister, Donna, sold tickets all day so that lucky winners could take home
one of the beautiful crafts donated by our crafters.
Diane Ward organized the Youth Group and Girl Scouts who sold candy, pictures, cookie jars.
They worked all day to raise funds for the Graham Family and for their Gold Award Projects.
Tables and chairs were moved; crafters were helped to carry their crafts to their sites on Friday
night and Saturday 6 AM; vacuums were buzzing and brooms were sweeping to get the building
all ready for Sunday’s worship services.
So what was the outcome of this very full day?
ULC members got to know their fellow volunteers a little better…
The community saw our wonderful facility and met our friendly members …
Money was raised to help eliminate our mortgage.
Again, I say…
thank you so much to our wonderful volunteers!

Parish Nurses by Dottie Bealer & Jane Borbe
5 Healthy Foods for the Fall 1. Pears - Snacking on a pear provides you with 7
grams of fiber. High Fiber diets have been linked
to a lower risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes,
and cognitive decline. Easy eating: Pears are
delicious raw or baked with a bit of cinnamon - no
added sugar necessary. Leave the skin on to
maximize the fiber.
2. Cauliflower - and other cruciferous vegetables
(broccoli, brussels sprouts & cabbage) contain
fiber, antioxidants & unique chemicals called
glucosinolates that may have some anti-cancer
power. Easy eating: Roasted cauliflower is tasty.
You can also steam it & mash it with some low
sodium chicken broth. Frozen riced cauliflower can
be used in place of rice.
3. Butternut Squash - contains lots of beta carotene, an
antioxidant that the body converts to Vitamin
A. Beta Carotene is essential for maintaining
vision, especially night vision, and it's also
important for keeping your immune system strong.
Easy eating: You can peel and chop it into cubes,
mash it, or puree it to add to soups and sauces.
4. Beets - are rich with antioxidants and anti-
inflammatory powers. Beets also contain nitrates
which have been shown to help widen blood vessels
and improve blood flow. Easy eating: Roasted
beets brings out their natural sweetness. Pureeing
cooked beets and mixing them into hummus.
5. Walnuts - Eating less than an ounce, provides an
adequate daily intake of ALA fatty acids, a type of
heart-healthy omega-3 fat. Easy eating: chop them
up and add them to oatmeal, salads, and smoothies.
You can also toast them, then puree them with a
little salt to make walnut butter.

GUATEMALA
Mothers fight for their
daughters’ education
“Will you take me with you?” As Pastor Karen
Castillo prepared to leave Playtto Cerro Alto, a settled
community along Guatemala’s Rio Chixoy, she felt the
tug of a common request from one of the village’s
young girls. Pastor Karen knew the situation: If the
girl stayed, she would be married soon and then
become pregnant, without the option of continuing her
education. Yet Pastor Karen also knew the girl could
not come with her to Guatemala City.
This girl’s situation is common among the indigenous,
rural communities served by the Augustinian Lutheran
Church of Guatemala. Families tend to be large, and
due to poverty, cultural traditions and other factors,
daughters are given away for marriage at 12 to 14 years
of age. They are matched with husbands who are at
least twice their age and sometimes older.
However, with the church’s help and your support, the
women in these communities, are starting to speak up,
calling for better futures for daughters and
granddaughters. The lack of educational opportunities
for women and girls is a frequent concern Pastor Karen
hears. Schools are often far from people’s homes, and
if instruction is available, boys are often given
precedence.
With the urging of parents and leaders, and the support
of partners, including ELCA World Hunger, the tools
to break the cycle of poverty are being provided by the
church. Pastor Karen can now say “yes” to some of
the girls wanting to complete their education.
Opened in 2018, at the Augustinian Lutheran Center in
Guatemala City, The Women’s Education Center is a
place where these young women from rural
communities can come to continue their secondary
education, faith formation, and development of
vocational and life skills that will help them be
independent in the future. Your gifts to ELCA World
Hunger ensure this program and many others that help
people live happy and productive lives.

Union Lutheran Library
Book Club by Barb Mahoney Our next book will be The Giver of Stars by JoJo
Moyes. Based on a true story is a richly rewarding
novel of women’s friendship, of true love, and of what
happens when we reach past our grasp for the great
beyond. Set in Depression-era America, this is the
breathtaking story of five extraordinary women and
their remarkable journey through the mountains of
Kentucky.
Alice Wright marries handsome American Bennett
Van Cleve hoping to escape her stifling life in
England. Small-town Kentucky, though, quickly
proves equally claustrophobic, especially living with
her overbearing father-in-law. When a call goes out for
a team of women to deliver books as part of Eleanor
Roosevelt’s new traveling library, Alice signs on
enthusiastically.
The leader is Margery, a smart-talking, self-sufficient
woman who's never asked a man's permission for
anything. They are joined by three other singular
women who become known as the Packhorse
Librarians of Kentucky.
What happens to them—and to the men they love—
becomes a memorable drama of loyalty, justice,
humanity and passion. These heroic women refuse to
be cowed by men or by convention. Though they face
all kinds of dangers in a landscape that is at times
breathtakingly beautiful, at others brutal, they’re
committed to their job: bringing books to people who
have never had any, arming them with facts that will
change their lives. Join us, Sunday, January 19 at
9:15 AM to discuss this funny, heartbreaking, and
enthralling book.

From Susan Hartney… October 27, 2019 was my last Sunday with you as Director of Music Ministries. I was humbled and honored by your prayers, good wishes, and gifts as I prepared to start my musical journey with the people of Jordan Lutheran Church. I don’t have sufficient words to express my thanks. Your kind words will stay with me forever. One of the most unexpected and heart-warming memories is that of Pastor Camp offering the beautiful service of farewell and Godspeed to me at the end of the 10:30 service that Sunday. My prayers remain with you as you prepare during Advent for the incredible joy celebrated every year for the coming of the Christ Child. May every blessing be yours, now and in the New Year.

Meet . . . Cathy Shaffer by the Communication Committee Walk into Union Lutheran Church any weekday and chances
are good that the first person you meet is Cathy Shaffer. She's been
greeting folks at Union for 28 years. In that time, she has served in
a variety of roles: Parish Secretary, Office Administrator, Treasurer,
and Assistant to the Pastor.
Cathy was born in Allentown and graduated from Parkland.
She earned a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management from
Moravian College. Employed by Keystone Bank, she became
manager of the Saucon Valley Branch with a staff of 13 people.
In 1989, she married John Shaffer who is a software engineer working at Muller Martini. They have
two sons, Brian and Matthew. Brian is a Mechanical Engineer with an MBA. Matthew has a Bachelor's
in Neuroscience and is completing his last year in his Masters of School Counseling degree. Last year,
Brian married Jordan Nichols.
Cathy began working part-time at Union in 1991. As her family grew and she had more time to devote
to the church, Cathy's responsibilities increased more and more as the Pastor recognized her abilities and
skills. Her duties were expanded to meeting with committees and planning activities. She is also
responsible for working with our Youth Group, planning the Happy Hour schedule, and relating to the
Finance Committee.
At this time, in addition to her job responsibilities, Cathy is active in the Praise Band. She has
organized and led groups to four National Youth Gatherings and currently is actively engaged in
preparing for the next one in Minneapolis in 2021.
No matter what the event, Cathy is usually involved in some way or other. Recent events provide a
good example. She was involved in planning and participating in Octoberfest, the annual Basket Social
and the Craft Fair. There's hardly a Sunday morning that she is not at Union doing something or helping
people. She serves often as a Communion Assistant as well as computer operator for the TV screens. If
you have a question, or need a favor, just ask Cathy.
Does she have any free time? you ask. The answer is a resounding "Yes." She enjoys spending time
with her family. She enjoys nature. Reading is high on her list of things to do. She collects lighthouses.
Obviously, not real ones, but models. And she tries to have one from every lighthouse she has visited.
How does Cathy feel about Union Lutheran and the future of our congregation? The first word she
said was, "Hopeful." She then added that we need to be forward looking, learning from the past, but not
repeating it. In a phrase, she says "Union needs to be relevant." Her hope is that we can be open to new
ideas and be willing to listen to and appreciate the thoughts and ideas of all our members.
Cathy is the daughter of Larry and Carol Snyder. They are members of ULC. Both her sons are
members. John's parents, Bud and Lois Shaffer, are members. Jordan, Brian's wife, is a member. If we
were to produce a TV show about the Shaffer family and their involvement in ULC, perhaps we should
call it "All in the Family."
