REFORMÁTUSOK LAPJA 15 Rev. Dr. John Bütösi SUMMER RE-CREATION Is more than “just getting away from it all.” Surely we need physical rest, but we need “rest in the Lord” as well (Ps. 37:7, Hebr. 4:9-11). May His Spirit rest upon us (Isa. 11:2, I. Pet. 4:14), during these days of rest so that we may return re-created to our tasks and callings... BETHLEN ALMANAC MATERIAL is already in preparation.
