A covered dish dinner was well attended by our members and friends. The church council awarded the annual Cherie Varga Memorial Scholarship Fund to a High School student, who showed the most improvement during the last year.

John Csanyi who was 74 years of age, was called home by our Heavenly Father. The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. Edwin Stern supply pastor, and the Rev. D.

PERTH AMBOY, NJ As we share our church life with our readers on the months of May and June, we are happy to begin by saying, that just before the summer months we had a very active, very lively church life. On May 4th Ascension Thursday during an evening service the Confirmation of our young people took place. After two years of instruction our young people were truly prepared for this big step of giving witness of their knowledge of the Church’s teachings, and their commitment to the cause of Christ. We congratulate Jessica Berecsky, Todd Cairns, Karen Lovász and Tara Silagyi and their families.
