Dear Friends at St. Paul’s,
Rev. Dr. Michael Wollman
Pastor
Already we are here at the beginning of Advent and it seems as though we just finished
summer and the school year has just begun. Christmas is just a heartbeat away and then
Epiphany. Where does the time go? God has blessed us with so many blessings and goes
before us each season preparing us for new insights into his love and care for us. That is
why I enjoy the seasons of the church year. Each new season has a new emphasis of
God’s divine love and mercy for us to meditate upon.
Wendell Robson
Principal
Harry Sanders
President of Congregation
Bill Kissinger
Chairman, Board of Elders
In Advent, we focus on our sinfulness and our need for redemption, and God’s promise to
send a savior who would restore us to a new relationship with Him. John the Baptist’s
ministry is highlighted as a means to prepare us for the coming Messiah.
Theresa Kissinger
Church Secretary
Cheryl Ehatt
School Secretary
In the Christmas season, we look closely at the marvel of our God who was made man,
the incarnation, His promise to us from the very first time sin entered the world fulfilled
in the form of a tiny baby! A light to enlighten the Gentiles and the glory of His people
Israel. Here the hymn, “Salvation Unto Us Has Come” by Luther, emphasizes the main
focus of the season. God has come personally to rescue us from our enemies.
Karen Woolsey
Newsletter Editor
In Epiphany, we who are not Jews, come to understand that God’s love is greater than the
salvation of the nation of Israel alone, God sent Jesus to be Savior of the whole world.
Epiphany throws back the cover of the plan of salvation to be far greater than anyone
anticipated. No one would ever be without hope for their eternal life. Jesus had come for
all who in faith trusted him.

By meditating on the themes of the Church Year, I grow more and more informed
regarding the love and mercy of my God and his plan of salvation for me. It is my prayer
that these seasons will bless you too with a deeper knowledge of God’s love for you and
an eager desire to learn ever more of your Savior.
To God be the glory!

Rev. Ferdinand Noske, retired
pastor of Kingsville's St. Paul's
Lutheran Church, dies
The Rev. Ferdinand Herman Noske, a retired Lutheran
pastor who headed a Kingsville congregation for more
than two decades, died of heart disease Nov. 19 at his
Forest Hill home. He was 88.
Born in Detroit, he was the son of Ferdinand Noske, a
carpenter, and Adela Edling, a homemaker.
He earned a bachelor's degree at Thiel College in
Greenville, Pa.
In 1955, he entered Concordia Seminary in St. Louis,
where he earned a divinity degree. Family members said
he helped earn his tuition by announcing sports and classical music at radio station KFUO
in St. Louis.
While working there, he met his future wife, Gail Boehne, an executive secretary at the
station.
"After their marriage, she supported him as a church secretary at times. She would attend
conferences and go on certain pastoral visits with him," said his daughter, Barbara Gail
Noske Travers of Bel Air. "She also ran an open house for him. There was always food on
the table when he would come home with a wayward soul. Mom would welcome them
graciously."
Mr. Noske sang bass and toured with the Lutheran Hour Chorus in the 1950s. The group
performed on the radio.
As a young pastor he served Christ Lutheran Church in Washington, D.C.; Mount Olive
Lutheran Church in Milwaukee, Wis.; Resurrection Lutheran in Newport News, Va.; and St.
Thomas Lutheran in Nyack, N.Y.
In 1966, he was named to St. Paul's Lutheran in Kingsville. He served there for 26 years
and retired in 1992.
"He was a great friend and mentor. He had a pastoral heart. He was a caring, loving
person," said the Rev. Lester Stano, a fellow Lutheran pastor and friend since 1974. "If I
learned nothing else, it was his words of advice about a congregation: 'Love them dearly,
and know when to get out of their way.'"
6
Mr. Stano reflected on his friend and said, "What he preached is what he lived, whether it
was with his people or with his family. It was the same.
"He was well respected and liked by his colleagues, and he was a popular figure in the
Kingsville community," he said.
Mr. Noske also served as pastoral counselor to the Lutheran Women's Missionary League.
He was a board member of Baltimore Lutheran School, a chapel pastor to St. Paul's
Lutheran School and a member of the board of operations for Raven Rock Lutheran Camp.
The Rev. Blaise C. Sedney, pastor of St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Bel Air, said Mr.
Noske "served tirelessly, and he helped mentor me. He helped me when I had never done
a funeral before. I asked him, 'What do I do?' He told me, 'It will come. It will all work out
fine. Don't be nervous.
"He had a heart for leading people in times of their need, whether it be in times of their
sorrow or in times of other needs," Mr. Sedney said.
Friends recalled that Mr. Noske enjoyed church hymns and led family singing sessions. His
children also sang in his church choirs.
"He was a huge character. He loved to sing and loved to laugh. He always had a joke. He
was everywhere he could help," said the Rev. Michael Wollman, who succeeded him at the
Kingsville church.
"He liked to sing so much when he was pastor, when it was time for the choir to sing, he
would leave the altar area, join the choir and return later to what he had been doing," said
Mr. Wollman.
After his 1992 retirement, he stepped in as interim pastor at churches that had vacancies.
He served at Advent Lutheran Church in Forest Hill and Redeemer Lutheran Church in
Parkton.
He continued to preach and serve congregations until about five years ago. He also came
out of retirement to confirm and perform marriage ceremonies for his grandchildren.
For many years Mr. Noske was master of ceremonies for the Kingsville Fourth of July
parade.. He also followed the Orioles, Baltimore Colts and Ravens, although he also was a
fan of the Detriot Tigers.
In addition to his wife of 62 years and his daughter, survivors include three sons, Mark
Andrew Noske of Joppa, Michael Allen Noske of Kingsville and David Matthew Noske of
Forest Hill; 13 grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.
