New Councilmen elected Mr. Frank Zambo, who replaced Mr. Geza Pocsik upon his retirement. All other church councilmen were reelected for another term. In the honor of our newly elected officers a “Covered Dish Dinner” was held in our social hall. The evening was enjoyed by everyone, and made memorable by the presentation of Rev. David Volk, Pastor of the Grace Lu­theran Church who presented his slides from the recent trip to the Holy Land. With the coming of the new year, we restarted our Bible studies, and hope that the interest will grow, and many of our members will come and search the scripture with us. On February 18, our assistant student minister conducted the worship service on Underground Evangelism, on which subject a movie was showed at an affair (social) in the church hall which was sponsored by the Fellowship Circle. In remembrance of the 32nd Anni­versary of the Women’s Guild the mem­bers received Holy Communion together and it gave us great pleasure to see amongst us the loving mate of our for­mer pastor Rev. Dr. Charles Vincze’s wife who originally organized this group. During the period of Lent, our church participates with other Protes­tant churches in the Mid-week lenten services. In accordance with the decision of the Church Council we started our monthly Newsletter service, which is mailed out to every member, thus in­forming them about the happenings in the congregation.

The goal of the joined effort is to keep our youth within our churches and at the same time to teach them the back­ground of their Hungarian forefathers. Since the month of December the dele­gates of the five churches are working on the plan. On March 15th, the Senior Citizens of the five churches met for their regu­lar monthly get-together at our church. More than 100 persons were present. After lunch Ft. György Mészáros spoke about the war of Independence of 1848. The program was concluded by Mrs. Ada Hodory showing slides she took in Hungary. We are continuing our Hungarian Radio Broadcast. Our services may be heard every Sunday morning at 8 A.M. on WYFM, 103 FM dial from Sharon, Pa. We ask everyone who is unable to attend church services to listen to this program. On March 11th, the congregation with a family supper remembered the 15th anniversary of the pastor’s service in Youngstown. I would like to extend my thanks to all those who worked on the supper, who attended the supper and for the gifts received. The blessing of God should be upon the members of the congregation for their expression of love.
