MAGYAR CGyfíflZ 12. oldal Annual Youth Conference DEAR FRIENDS, This letter is the official invitation to our Annual Youth Conference of our Hungarian Churches of the Re­formed Faith and we are extending our wholehearted wishes for you to attend to all of you in and near the Ohio and Michigan areas and points east. This conference is planned for two days, Saturday, May 1, 1982, and Sunday, May 2, 1982. At the conference last year, it was agreed that our Church would serve as the host Church for this year’s con­ference. Early arrivals will be served a light lunch. Our tentative plans are to start on Saturday, May 1st, 1982, at 1:00 The planning meeting of our summer youth camp, held jointly with the Calvin Synod, as held in Cleveland at the West Side Hun­garian Reformed Church on No­vember 8th 1981. Shaw Kazay (Al­len Park, Mich.) Leslie Torok (On­tario, Canada) officers of our Bethlen Youth Federation repre­sented our denomination. Under the leadership of Dr. Lász­ló Medyesy, camp co-director the following plans were made: Camp will be held on August 15th (Sunday) to August 21st (Sat.) morning. Location of camp will be at the Laurelville Mennonite Church Cen­ter, Rt. 5, Box 145, Mt. Pleasant, PA 15666. Tel.: (412) 423-2056 - the location of last year’s (1981) camp. Cost of the camp will not exceed $90.00. Our sister church, the Cal­vin Synod may announce a different amount, the reason is —the denomi­nation covers part of the expenses. This cost will include all expenses. Registrations and fees should be made out and mailed to: Rev. Louis Illés, 1411 Kennedy Avenue, Du­­quesne, Pa. 15110 — or sent to the Synod’s treasurer, Mr. Sándor Kish directly. Registrations are to be turned in no later than July 1, 1982, and they should be accompained by the camp fee in full. This report is published early enough to facilitate p.m. for registration. Later on, there will be a speaker from our neighboring Church in Toledo, Ohio. Mr. Frank Nagy’s topic will be, “Declining Youth in our Churches. ” A discussion group will ensue afterwards. Dinner will be at 6’00 p.m., to be prepared by the Ladies Aid Society of our Church, at $3.50 per plate. Later in the even­ing, there will be a dance for the Youth. Accommodations will be available in private homes or nearby motels will be listed for those who would desire it. Sunday Morning, May 2, 1982, Church Services will be held at 9:45 a.m., with youth participation, keeping the deadline. If a camper cannot attend Camp after register­ing, his/her total fee will be re­funded less $1.00 service charge. Additional details on equipment will be published in the next issue of the Magyar Egyház (Magyar Church). Housing will be in the brand new facilities of the camp, constructed since last year’s camp. The theme of the youth camp will be: “How Do I Fit In?” Subtitles will deal with fitting into peer groups (friendship), family, education, re­ligion (revelation, praying and the fulfillment of His second coming) and in life in general. Workshop are being planned in Hiking, Cooking, Photo, Current Events, Contemporary Teenager, Painting, Hungarian Dance, and if we have acceptable volunteer in­structors, other fields as well. The usual entertainment will in­clude (as it did in 1981): initiation, Olympics, chaperoned dance, film, talent show, consecration (com­munion); every morning devotion will inspire the proper beginning of the day. Registration forms will be mailed out with a map of access as soon as the exact cost is established by the Mennonite Camp. See You in Laurelville on August 15th, 1982! Rev.
