14 MAGYAR EGYHÁZ CARTERET, N. J. We had the usual “big” congre­gations on Easter Sunday. Over 240 participated in holy commun­ion. The low number in shut-in communions (14) indicates that more and more of our older peo­ple are joining the eternal com­munion of believers. Donors of the holy elements were: William Cha­­bena, Mrs. Charles Comba, Sr., Mrs. Menyhért Deák (in memory of her husband), Mrs. William La­zar (in memory of her husband), memory of parents), and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Nagy, Jr. (in memory of Mrs. Mary Nagy). The Men’s Fellowship and the Junior Women’s Guild decided to donate to the Building Fund the money customarily used to buy small individual gifts for the mo­thers and fathers on Mother’s and Father’s Day. Mrs. Helen Fabian is the new secretary of the United Women’s Federation. i Worship services during the Pentecost season: Ascension Day: examination of confirmands; con­firmation on Sunday, May 26, at 9:30 a.m.; communion service on Pentecost Sunday at 9 a.m. in Eng­lish, at 10:30 in Hungarian.
