After the long, cold winter days, March is considered the month of “new beginnings.” This was the case in our church life, also.

Our remaining Church Council officers are: Vice Chief Elder Bertalan Bartha; English Secretary, Allen Birkholz; Hungarian Secretary, John Kollar; and Treasurer, Joseph Bartha. May God grant them the strength and wisdom to fulfill their offices with dignity and responsibility.
