142 BETHLEN NAPTÁR agree; yet most often they celebrate their oneness, their life here, in Christ’s Church. The story also tells of young people with dreams and expectations; young people doing their best to grow and mature in a sometimes very complicated world. The story tells of how the young people come here, to their church. It tells of how they study here, sing here, dance here. Church is a comfortable place, a safe place for them to be. And the story, also, tells of people in need, people in pain; people seeking food, others seeking clothing. The story tells of the lovely people, the separated; people without jobs, people without money. All these people drawn spiritually and physically to the church, and here being met by Christians who are able to share of what God has given them. Our brothers and sisters in Christ, this is the real story of our Church; not just here in Toledo, but in every location. Beyond all the facts and figures, more important than all the budgets and by-laws, in the human story of the Church: the human story of all our needs and weaknesses, met and overcome by the saving grace of God. Using the strength and wisdom given us by God, the Toledo congregation will continue in His service during this new year. We remember our sister congregations in our prayers. May God’s blessings be upon you! REGGELTŐL ESTIG I ladd kezdjem el imádsággal minden reggel napomat. Hadd készüljek imádsággal arra, amit tartogat. Imádságban kérjek erőt ha szolgálatba vezetsz, imádkozva induljak a testvérhez, akit szeretsz. Imádkozva leljek jó szót, más sebére balzsamot. Hadd győzzek le imádkozva kételyt, hajszát, haragot! És ha este imádkozva, munkámat bevégzem, imádkozva érintse meg ruhád szegélyét kezem! Albert Bartsch után németből T urmezei Erzsébet
