14. oldal MAGYAR EGYHÁZ Az Úr Isten megáldotta a húsvéti ünneplésünket. Ügy a magyar, mint az angol istentisztelet alkalmával tele volt a templom. A templomot mint minden évben, az idén is, a Women’s Guild által adományozott virágok díszítették. Vasárnap, április 10-én, ifjúsági vasárnapot tartottunk. Az angol istentiszteletet az Ifjúsági Egylet tagjai végezték. A résztvevők: Michael Holbrook, John Molnár, Douglas Myslinski, Erik Beke és Mark Csapó. Vasárnap, május 1-én, az angol istentisztelet keretében újították meg házassági esküjüket az 50 éves házassági év­fordulójuk alkalmával Mr. és Mrs. Lewis Parrey. Mind a ketten egyházunkat mint presbiterek szolgálják. Isten to­vábbi áldását kérjük reájuk. Vasárnap, május 1-én, gyülekezetünk nőtagjai a Perth Amboyban tartott 29. Női Konferencián vettek részt. Vasárnap, május 15-én, az angol istentisztelet keretében a következő fiatal testvéreink konfirmáltak és Pünkösd va­sárnapján fognak először az Űr asztalához járulni: Jennifer Bechtel, Michelle Fennimore, Jennifer Katona, Walter P. Katona, Daniel Molnár és Peter Quinn. A jó Isten adjon erőt nekik, hogy fogadásaikat megtartsák és hűek maradja­nak az Űr Jézushoz. Ugyancsak vasárnap, május 15-én, kértük a jó Isten to­vábbi áldását Mr. és Mrs. John Kisty testvéreink számára 50 éves házassági évfordulójuk alkalmával. Itt is Isten áldá­sát kérjük reájuk. KERESZTELÉS: Vasárnap, május 1-én az angol isten­­tisztelet keretében kereszteltük meg Julius Gyula Orosz­­vary és felesége kislányát Krista Leight-t. Isten áldása kí­sérje fiatal testvérünket.

A jó Isten vigasztaló kegyelme legyen a megszomorodott családokkal. CARTERET, NJ Despite the cold weather throughout this Spring, our church has her 85th Anniversary fever. The Church Coun­cil declared 1988 the 85th Anniversary year in our church, which means that our grounds are renovated. The Men’s Club started it with purchasing all new ranges and ovens to the kitchen for $3,500, which will be followed by chang­ing the ceiling blocks, and refinishing the wooden floors in our Bethlen Hall. The Lorantffy Women’s Guild is get­ting estimates for the painting of our church inside, in­stalling ceiling fans that the airconditioner and heater may not work as hard, and save energy. One of our bell motors needs to be changed, the stained glass windows need to be fixed, cleaned. The Parsonage needs a new coat of paint on the outside, the driveway needs to be fixed. The Me­morial Plaques in the vestibule, showing the names of all our deceased members is being updated. In order to be able to finance all these projects, we started a special drive, by sending out 85th Anniversary Renovation Fund enve­lopes to all our members, asking them to support the church in putting the buildings in shape. The next project will be spiritual renewal! On Mother’s Day the Men’s Club provided carnations to all mothers, as well as the flower decorations in church. The Sunday School surprised all attendants with a beauti­ful bookmark with the church’s name on it. Ascension Thurs­day and Pentecost services were quieter this year, since we had no Confirmands. Father’s Day is the closing of the Sunday School year. We would like to thank all our teach­ers for their effort in educating our children: Miss Martha Delbacs, Mrs. Anne Marie Fuller, Mrs. Jackie Kijula, Mr. Randall Kijula, Ms. Zsuzsanna Prundl, Mrs. Betty Yocka­­vitch and Superintendent Ilona Nitsch. Following the service the Lorantffy Women’s Guild hosted all our men and children for a Father’s Day Cham­pagne Breakfast. Thanks! The combined summer picnic of the Lorantffy Women’s Guild, Men’s Club and Sun­day School will be held on June 26 in Medwick Park in West Carteret. Holy Communion for New Bread will be served on August 7. The Buy-A-Brick Fundraiser of the Men’s Club will culminate in a dinner-dance on September 10. Our 85th Anniversary Dinner-Dance will be held on October 22, from 6:00 p.m., and we expect to see all our area Pastors and church representatives present. Weddings: Andrew Basht and Mary Elizabeth Erdélyi in Coatsville, PA, on April 23; Steve Kulcsár and Cynthia M. Knis on June 5; Julius Lengyel, Jr. and Kathleen M. Mayland on June 11th. May God bless their unions. Funerals: Helen Ferrer (81) on April 5; Ernest Soos (66) on June 14, Leo C. George (57) on June 15. May they rest in peace. PERTH AMBOY, NJ The past two months have been very active in the life of our congregation. On the first Sunday of the month of May, we hosted the Church Women United Conference, where almost 80 women from the area has gathered for spiritual fellowship. The theme of the Conference was: My Heroes Have Always Been These Women of the Bible. Speaker for the occasion was Ms. Karen Neary, teacher and former Matron of the Woodbridge Chapter of the Eastern Star. We all enjoyed her presentation, and many questions have been raised about the life and service of women mentioned in her presentation. Following the conference a delicious sup­per was served in our church center by the Women’s Guild of our Church. Our pastor, whose brother is visiting from Czechoslo­vakia was absent from the conference, because of prior commitment of a family celebration in Windsor, Ont., Canada. On the Second Sunday of May we joined together in honoring mothers on Mother’s Day. A combined service filled the House of Worship, and we made flower presenta­tion to all women of our church. Following the service a Mother’s Day breakfast was served by the Fellowship Circle in our Church Center. On May 12th, Ascension Day, we held special services, during which time the following young people made their open confession of faith and were received into full mem­bership of the Church: Lisa Talbott, Theodore Takacs, Wendy Czebrowski, Jacqueline Hansen, Dominick Berecsky and Sherry Latkowich. We congratulate them, and pray that they remain faithful to their vows — to Christ and His Church. On May 22nd we commemorated the birthday of the Christian Church at Pentecost. During our worship services, the Sacrament of the Holy Supper was observed. On this
