6. oldal MAGYAR EGYHÁZ Brunswick-ból, Perth Amboy-ból, Carteretről, Roeblingből valamint a New York-i Poughkeepsieből érkezett. A lelkészi ösztöndíj alapra nem érkeztek adományok az elmúlt év során. A Nőszövetség elhatározta, hogy támogatja a Magyar Egyház újságot, az Ifjúsági Tábort, ösztöndíjat ad Tarr Zoltán teológusnak és adományokkal emlékezik meg néhai Mrs. Hunyadyról és Molnár Priscilláról. A konferencia elnöke, Prundl Zsuzsanna, alelnöke Bollok Barbara, pénztárosa Hunyady Piroska, titkára Hatten Pearl, káplánja pedig Dorko Brigitta lett a választások során. A következő évi gyűlés házigazdája a cartereti egyház lesz. Már sötétedett, amikor asztalok köré gyűltünk a New Brunswick-iak által elkészített vacsorához. Ez igazi lakoma volt, s valóban átéreztük, amit a templomban énekeltünk: Isten velünk, viszontlátásra.
