Thanks and appreciation is hereby extended to him. Since December 1st, 1970, when the Rev. Paul Ferenczy resigned, the leaders of our church are in the process of calling a new minister. For the month of February, the Church Council asked the Rev. Stefan Török, assistant minister, who is doing “post graduate work” at New Brunswick Seminary, to take care of the services. The annual congregational meeting was held in January, the Very Rev. Stephen Kovács, Pastor of the Trenton Church, General Secretary of the Synod presided. The officers of the church council accepted the responsibility to serve for another term, Stephen Varga Chief Elder, until the new minister shall be elected. Inspite of the fact, that there is no full time minister in the church, the organizations, the Sunday School, Women’s Guild, The Lórántffy Women’s Club, all carry on the works as usual.
