Bethlen Cultural Program

This Fall look for these cultural events at Bethlen Communities:

• Harvest Crafts / Luncheon - Szüret

• Italian Day

• Pumpkin / Gourd decorating

• Art Exhibit

•1956 Hungarian Revolution - 50th Anniversary Program

Birmingham Ethnic Festival

Toledo, Ohio August 18-20

Bethlen Communities and our Cultural Program will once again be represented at this wonderful festival! Festivities start on Friday evening with the Waiters Race followed by a Hungarian Tanc Haz at the Calvin United Church parking lot. Live music and dance are among the features that evening, along with bogrács gulyás, palacsinta, káposztás tészta.

Sunday the streets of the largely Hungarian neighborhood are lined with food and craft booths. A Cultural Tent, which features exhibits from the neighborhood's background, will be highlighting the many people who came to this country in 1956.

Hungarian and international dance groups perform beginning at 12:30 p.m., followed by live bands.

This truly is "A DAY IN THE OLD COUNTRY".

Table Donated

A beautifully hand-crafted table was donated to Bethlen Communities by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Kovács. The crafters were Father Alphonse Skerl and his sister, Helen Fogarassy, both from E. Chicago. The table is currently at Ligonier Gardens.

Uram, maradj velünk!

Mi lesz velünk, ha elfut majd a nyár? Mi lesz velünk, ha őszünk is lejár?

Ha nem mard csak a rideg telünk... Uram, mi lesz velünk?

Mi lesz velünk ha elfogy a sugár?

A nap lemegy és a sötét beáll.

Ha ránk borul örök, vak éjjelünk: Uram, mi lesz velünk?

Mi lesz, ha a világból kifogyunk?

S a koporsó lesz összes birtokunk,

Ha már nem élünk és nem érezünk, Uram, mi lesz velünk?

...Uram, Tiéd a tél, Tiéd a nyár,

Te vagy az élet s Te vagy a halál.

A változások rendje mit nekünk?

Csak Te maradj velünk.
