era

THE FIRST HUNGARIAN REFORMED CLASSIS will observe its 100th Anniversary on October 27,

1996. This Classis is now the Eastern Classis of the Calvin Synod. This is the first organized Hungarian Reformed Church group outside Hungary.

A Dedication Service will be held on April 28, Sunday. The solemn service will begin at 4:00 p.m. The Dedication Banquet will be held on the day before, Saturday, April 28 at 4:00 p.m.

This will be the fourth temple built by the congregation, (now at the new Walton Hills location.)

The building pastor, Rev. Frank Endrei, announced his retirement for July 1, 1996.

The unexpected announcement surprised all. Everyone had hoped he might stay on for a while to enjoy the beauty of the new sanctuary that he himself had built.

History has a way of repeating itself in the long 105 year life of our First Church. The very first minister of our fold in America, Rev. Gusztáv Jurányi, who organized the first church on this side of the ocean, resigned and returned to Hungary soon after the church started its life on the shore of Lake Erie.
