This month of June was not an exception either. Our guest minister at this occasion was a close relative of one of our church members Rev. Jerry Johnson visiting in this eastern area of the United States from the state of Missouri. We are very grateful for his assistance. On this same Sunday afternoon our pastor, chief-elder and vice chief-elder has started on their way to Ligonier, Pa., to participate in the upcoming Synod meeting, which was to discuss the proposed new By-Laws of the denomination. The meeting was enjoyable and fruitful. On June the 5th, Mrs. Balázs Illés and her daughter and family invited the members of the Senior Women’s Club for a fellowship into their house. We are very grateful for the expression of their love toward each one of us.

May the Almighty God bless them as they continue to live in unity with each other and with God. We would like to call the attention of all of our members to the fact, that our Church will sponsor a Vacation Bible School this Summer starting on June 30. We would like to ask all the parents and grandparents to encourage their children to participate in this Bible School. Especially we urge those parents whose children will be attending Confirmation class in the near future, because the children will not be accepted to the class is they have no prior religious education.
