Duquesne During the fall we had two Communion Services: On the first Sunday of October in the World Wide Communion 247 participated and in the Thanksgiving Communion (Nov. 23) 203 partook of the sacrament. In October we reorganized the choir and organized a children’s choir for the first time; both are under the direction of Paul Shigo. Our final Fellowship Dinner of the year, held in October, was a complete success. As it is known, we had three dinners in a year without selling any tickets. The offering received at the supper covered the actual cost of the dinner threefold. Also it supplemented the income usually derived from the annual bazaar. We had a true Christian fellowship with appropiate high level program, the Rev. Dr. Tibor Chikes being the speaker and the pastor outlining the present problems of the congregation. The congregation was not only well represented in numbers but by its several age-groups, too. At a recent meeting of the Church Council the pastor made a report of a substantial memorial contribution by the Pacolay family, a detailed report of which will be made after the dedication of the gift. In the advent season all our organizations had their special commemoration of Christmas at their meetings. Our Sunday School children and their teachers received their Christmas gifts from the church on Sunday morning, December 21, and in turn, they presented a well-planned program on that evening in the church. The schedule of services and special events of Christmas week will be mailed to members with the pastoral letter of the season. TRENTON, N. J. Templom; Home Avenue és Beatty Street sarkán.
