Christ’s Hungarian Pilgrims – Film Premiere
Last fall the directors and film crew from the Debrecen Television (DTV) spent a month filming on the East Coast, as well as in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, and Michigan. The purpose of their visit was to find and record for posterity those Hungarian Reformed churches, which, for whatever reason, have ceased to exist.
From the more than 300 hours of filming, seven 35-minute segments have been prepared. With this 7-part series, it is hoped that those pastors and congregations who faithfully served in each location will be remembered and not forgotten.
Our church will premiere parts of this series on November 1st at 5:00 PM, after the Community Reformation Service. There will not be sufficient time to view the entire series, but it will be available for sale. The President of DTV, Tamás Széles, and film director, Ferenc Vojtkó, will be present for the local premiere.
The series will also be shown in Cleveland, Ohio, on October 30 and in Ligonier, Pennsylvania, on November 2.
Invite your friends and neighbors to this event, which will be followed by dinner.
Community Reformation Sunday Service
The American Hungarian Reformed Ministerial Association – Eastern Classis will conduct a joint Community Reformation Service on November 1. The tri-state area pastors and congregations will give thanks for the Reformers’ faith and devotion. But most of all we will thank the Lord for keeping our Reformed congregations even through the strongest storms of challenges of our faith.
The worship service will begin at 4:00 pm here in Perth Amboy Hungarian Reformed Church. Following the worship service, the series “Christ’s Hungarian Pilgrims” will be premiered (see article below). Supper will also be served.
Come and invite others to this special occasion!
John Calvin Sunday
We are celebrating the 500th anniversary of the birth of the great reformer, John Calvin, this year. The Hungarian Reformed Church in America’s celebration began last October with the successful performance of the choir of the Great Church of Debrecen in New York City. The American Hungarian Reformed Ministerial Association and the Presbyters’ Association have encouraged each congregation to remember Calvin during this year in some form. In earlier issues of the Newsletter, we have printed articles about Calvin, but we are now preparing a special event for October 25th.
At both of our worship services on this day, we will introduce you to the Reformer’s life and works. Selections of his writings will also be read.
We cordially invite you to attend these extraordinary worship services. Looking forward to seeing all of you.
