The Epistle

June & July, 2014
Brothers and Sisters in Jesus,

In Ecclesiastes, chapter 3, we read, “There is an appointed time for everything, and a season for every affair under the heavens.” In listing the many events and activities we participate in, this passage tells us there is a particular time for everything in life.

My dear friends, it is time for me to move on, to begin a new chapter in my ministry. I have received and accepted a call to be the Pastor at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Kreidersville. I am therefore resigning from my call at St. Paul’s effective June 30, 2014. My last Sunday with you will be June 29, 2014.

This has not been an easy decision for me to make, but God is leading me into new pathways. I realize that this new call will provide me with new and exciting opportunities to share the Gospel of our Lord with others and to walk with others as together we journey with Jesus.

As I reflect on my years here at St. Paul’s, memories come flooding back. There were all those joyous celebrations of baptisms, confirmations, and weddings. Then there were times of grief and great sadness when together we grieved the loss of loved ones. Weeklong VBS’s had fellowship hall ringing with the laughter of children and I can never forget the spirit-filled retreat weekends with our youth. One major highlight for me was our excellent music ministry. We were truly blessed with beautiful concerts and cantatas. It has been a privilege and an honor to have been able to share these special moments with you.

Most importantly, I will remember and cherish the wonderful friendships I have made while I’ve been here. These are like precious jewels to me. Even though I may not be your Pastor, I will always be your friend. I will continue to pray for you and ask that you do the same for me.


As always,

In His hands,



Pastor Gary

Rev. Gary L. Walbert

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I have received and accepted a call to be Pastor at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Kreidersville, Pa. Therefore, I hereby resign as Pastor of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Catasauqua, Pa, effective June 30, 2014. My last Sunday with you will be June 29, 2014.
It has been a privilege to serve as your Pastor. I will continue to pray for you. I ask you to do the same for me.
Yours in Jesus,

Pastor Gary L. Walbert

June has arrived and our summer begins. We say “Good-bye” to a few of our friends and Welcome back some old friends.


During the month of June we will hold Kindergarten Graduation on Wednesday, June 4th, with a Program of song & poems by our Graduates. Their parents will join us for hotdogs and cake after the program. Our Summer Program begins on Monday, June 16th, which means all of the children will enjoy the sprinklers or the Catty Pool. Our PreK class will hold a Carnival this month. All the classes will have a specified time to go to the PreK class to play their Carnival games. This month also holds a special day for our dads, so I want to wish them a Happy Father’s Day.
During the month of July, we will celebrate Independence Day by wearing RED, WHITE, & BLUE! Our School Age Class will hold a Fiesta; they will be busy making Piñatas. We cannot forget celebrating Christmas in July, Santa will send special little gifts for the children and we will make a Christmas Craft, eat Chocolate Chip cookies, and drink Chocolate Milk, while we listen to a Christmas story.
Summer is the time for all of our Children to enjoy the outdoors and to relax. We want to wish everyone a very pleasant summer, won’t complain about the heat because we don’t want a repeat of last winter
Happy Father’ Day and have a safe and enjoyable Summer.

God Gives More than Enough
It is the "first day of the week" (John 20:19), the day of the new creation, but to those locked away in the upper room in fear, the world is as it always has been. So entrenched are they in the ways of grief and guilt that the Risen One in their midst needs to offer his life-giving invitation twice: "Peace be with you." The logic of the new age is peace, not retribution; forgiveness, not vengeance. With the invitation to new life comes also the means: the gift of the Holy Spirit, breathed upon them and within them. Just as the Father sent Jesus into the world, so now are these disciples sent as witnesses to God's saving work.
Pentecost is therefore the crowning achievement of the Jesus story. Now, more than ever, these huddled disciples would have just cause to sing the "Dayenu" ("It would have been enough") verses from the Passover seder meal, but revised: It would have been enough for the Word and wisdom of God to have been born in the flesh . . . Dayenu! It would have been enough for the Word to grow to adulthood and share his stunning parables about God's gracious activity in the world . . . Dayenu! It would have been enough for this Word to say to his enemies, "Father, forgive them" . . . Dayenu! It would have been enough for this Word to have died on a cross for us . . . Dayenu! It would have been enough that he rose again in blessing, not vengeance ... Dayenu!
But now, beyond what we would even expect—the Word becomes our word and it is written on our hearts at Pentecost . . . Dayenu! It is enough, and more than enough to enflame our ministry of reconciliation in a world in need of a healing word
