CARTERET, N. J.

We are all busy in our preparation for the 70th Anniversary observance of the Carteret congregation. There will be a Service of Thanksgiving on Sunday, September 16, 10 a.m., and a dinnerdance on Saturday, October 27. To these occasions we wish to invite not only our present membership but also those who once belonged to our fellowship but moved away from the neighborhood. Addresses of such people should be forwarded to the Pastor.

The Church Council decided to have a Memorial Plaque displayed in the church with names of deceased members in memory of whom contributions have been made. We shall begin with the names of those who passed away in 1973. At request, however, names of ■former church members who died before 1973, will also be placed on the plaque. Names of such people — who at any time had been members of our church — should be submitted to the Pastor before September 1 in order to appear on the first plaque. Requests arriving later will be put on a second plaque at a later date.
