MAGYAR EGYHÁZ 11 middle of September we open our Sun­day School in the hope that there will be children who desire to learn the right way of life from the Great Master Teacher, Jesus. To assist with the mani­fold programs our church has called a student minister from the New Bruns­wick Theological Seminary. We wel­come him with expectant hearts. Renovations are under way or com­pleted in some case around the church and cemetery in preparation for our 75th Anniversary Celebration, which will be held on Sunday, November 12. For this memorable occasion an An­niversary booklet is planned and is under printing. For the work in pre­paring the material we are grateful to our members. During the summer months we had a very successful Vacation Bible School with about 60 children attending. We are grateful for the dedication of our teachers and helpers. During these same months the idea of a new organization was born— and became organized “The Fellowship Circle” in the hope that it will embrace those young families who find it difficult to fit in the previously existing organizations. We hope that it will be a worthwhile organization. — May God lead and guide them on this new road of finding love and under­standing in each other and in God.
