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 Among the countless Christmas legends, hidden, both Mary and Joseph held their there is a Polish one involving a Christmas breath, certain their doom was upon spider. According to this legend, when them. Yet the soldiers passed by the Joseph was warned in a dream to flee from cave. One soldier said it was a waste of time King Herod and the massacre which he to search it, since anyone who had entered intended to inflict upon the children of the cave would have broken the spider’s web Bethlehem, several animals from the manger over the opening. Thus it was that the decided to accompany the Holy Family on seemingly insignificant spider saved the day; their journey. Each of the animals was and the legend goes on to say that this is why determined to protect the baby Jesus, and we hang tinsel on our Christmas trees … to each felt sure his or her particular talents remind us of the silver strands of the web would prove invaluable in that task.

Yet none of the other animals felt the no act through which we seek peace with spider would be helpful. After all, she was justice is ever wasted. only an insect. She had no keen ears or sharp teeth, no strong bones and no claws Merry Christmas! whatsoever. However, the spider persistently pleaded to be included, until at Pastor Camp 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 3 Services while, it appeared everything would be fine. The only immediate problem was the 3:00 PM – 8:00 PM – 11:00 PM 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.

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!

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."
