1990-11-01 / 6. szám

MAGYAR EGYHÁZ 15. oldal pedig székelyföldi video vetítéssel szolgált. Hálás köszönet mindenkinek. Szeretettel köszöntöttük körünkben az óhazából Nt. Cson­tos Józsefet és nejét, akik régebben is voltak köztünk, s újab­ban is többször jó szívvel szolgáltak, miközben az itteni egye­temen ún. „post graduate” tanulmányokat folytatnak. Karácsonyra az ünnepi istentiszteleti sorrendet tagjaink­nak kiküldtük. Ha valakinek a hozzátartozója nem kapja meg az egyház havi értesítőjét, kérjük tudassa a pontos címét. Egyházunk történetében ez év karácsonya kiemelkedő al­kalom lesz: most van 40 esztendeje, hogy a gyülekezet hivata­losan is megalakult. A 40 éves jubileumi ünnepet január 20- án tervezzük megtartani. Készüljön rá egyházunk minden tag­ja és barátja. Lelkipásztorunk beiktatását február harmadik vasárnap­jára tűzte ki a presbitérium az esperes úrral egyetértve. Erre az alkalomra külön meghívót küldünk ki mindenkinek. Jöjjön el rendszeresen a templomunkba vagy a Saratogá­­ban tartott istentiszteletekre, s hívjunk másokat is. PERTH AMBOY, NJ For many it may sound unbelieveable, but the year 1990 is slowly but surely passing over us. The year truly flew away. Looking back on its passing days and months, one question its length. Yet we realize that by the gracious will of God, we have received opportunities and possibilities, that will be gone with the passing year. One think we may say, “blessed be the name of the Lord” for all his gracious dealing with us. What’s happening in Perth Amboy in the last two months of the year? The answer is simple: many things. On November 9th, under the sponsorship of the Women’s Guild a successful Chinese Auction was held. Many thanks to their members and to all who helped to make it a success. On November 11th, under the sponsorship of our Chris­tian Education, Sunday School, a very successful Thanksgiv­ing Breakfast was held, with free will offering in the Church Center. Clear profit was to assist our Sunday School treasury. Many thanks to our teachers and helpers and our members who attended the breakfast in excellent numbers. On November 18th, our Annual Thanksgiving Banquet was held following a Combined Worship Service. Our Church Center was filled with our members and representatives from our sister churches.

Wedding: On November 17th, Anthony Roberts and Eliz­abeth Herczeg were united in marriage. May God guide the young couple in their lives.
