This is liturgical calendar generally represents the church year celebrated in American Hungarian Reformed Churches, though many local variations apply. Service times noted are for this particular church only. In traditional Hungarian format, Communion is served 7 times per church year: Christmas, the first Sunday in Lent, the Resurrection of our Lord, Pentecost, “New Bread”, “New Wine”, and the last Sunday before the Christmas preparation season called here “Saints of Christ the King”.
