OH This year, we have instructed two young lives to grow closer to our God, and Savior Jesus Christ. They are Eric Thompson and Aereana Robles. Their confirmation and confession took place in our church on May 21. They were blessed and incorporated as communicant members of the Hungarian Reformed Church UCC on May 28, and their first participation in the Holy Communion was June 4 Pentecost Day. On July 10-14, we will hold Vacation Bible School. As life is unfolding for our children, it is our responsibility to introduce them to the faith we treasure in our hearts. Every year, a summer opportunity is organized by our community of believers to make our children’s vacation time into a more spiritual experience. It is always a great time when we can have our children taught about the importance of faith, hope and love. Family Day will be held this year on Sunday, July 16. Please keep this date open. The theme this year will be “The Fabulous Fifties.” More information will be forthcoming. HRC Fairport Harbor.
