Our recently held Holiday Fair was welcomed by much greater interest of the people than last year - thank the Lorantffy members. We had visitors from Hungary. Rev. Judit Regius reformed minister, editorial coworker of the Hungarian Confessio periodical visited us and attended our worship services. In November, Rev. Gyula Boros, pastor of the Fasori Church in Budapest, was our special quest at our Elders’ meeting. The installation of the pastor was on November 15 - as you can read about that on other pages.

Torok, dean 331 Kirkalnd Place, Perth Amboy, NJ 08861 Phone: (908) 442-7799 There is a famous latin saying ‘Tempus mutantur’ the time is passing. How well we know this ourselves. It is hardly believable that we are at the end of another year. What is time, many ask? You are as young or as old as you feel. It may be true, but in the life of the Church, in the existence of the Church, time truly passing. All indication is that soon, even though we do not know the time when, the return of our Lord is eminent. It was in this spirit that from the earliest time in the Church believers spent the time in expectation in return of the Lord. It is that time again. Advent has come, and we make our preparation toward another holiday that remind us of his first coming.
