The first week of September marked the reinstallment of our regular Worship Service Hours—Sunday School at 9:00, English at 10:00, and Hungarian at 11:00. We are delighted to note that the participation in our Worship Services has grown, and trust that we shall continue to grow in attendance and membership in the future. During the first weekend in September, we took part in the annual Bethlen Youth Federation Conference hosted by the McKeesport youth group. Representing our Church was Judy Takach, President of our Christian Youth Fellowship. Our pastor also took part in this conference, and afterwards attended the celebration in Ligonier, Pa. September will not only be a memorable month for our congregation, but for our pastor, also, who on September 18, in our Perth Amboy sister church, exchanged vows of love and faithfulness with his bride, Susan Király. Many of our members honored the happy couple with their presence at the ceremony and reception which followed. During our pastor’s absence, the services were conducted by The Rt. Rev. Louis Nagy, Supt. of the Bethlen Home and Rev. Charles Bogár. Our Confirmation preparatory classes began last month. Four of our young people are preparing for the time when they shall bear witness of their faith and allegiance to Jesus Christ. On October 10, the Lord’s Table will be set for World Wide Communion.
