Faith is God’s gift! - English language Services.
Our regular
English language service is
on June 27th 2010, Sunday 12 noon
at Béla Bartók Unitarian Church.
Adult confirmation of
Alessandro Falasca
from Italy,
with Rev. Roberto Rosso
unitarian minister from Italy
and
Rev. Sándor Léta local minister
Pentecost Service based on Acts 2,38 … Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Service based on Mark 6,4:
But Jesus, said to them, A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and among his own house
Lenten Service
Matthew 4,1-2: Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
Lent for me is all about self-control. It is the triumph of ego over it. I want to prove to myself that I can indeed live without something that I think is essential for me.
What can you give up?
Religious freedom day service.

1. Welcome and Opening words by the Minister:
Show us Oh, Lord your way, let us walk in your truth and worship you from our clean heart. Amen
Chalice lighting by Márton Szabó:
I light this chalice to be the light of life in the coming year. To shine before us, to show us God’s way we have to follow, so may not walk blindly, but to step into the future with self-confidence.
Rev. Sándor Léta:
Welcome everyone to this first service in our unitarian church. I would like to introduce ourselves: I am Sándor Léta, the minister of Béla Bartók Unitarian Church. We have a norvegian unitarian minister friend among us, Knut Heidelberg who organized the Unitarian Church in Norway, and spending his time here in Budapest until mid January. Our organ player is Gyopár Pávai. In the service will take also part Márton Szabó and the Osztováta Ensemble (Osztováta it means weaving loom, which in hungarian is szövőszék, but in Transylvania they call it osztováta)
Todays service main leading idea is to ask God to bless our life as we leave this year, and be with us in the new year too.
2. Beginning song: 352 – Find a stillness - We use the book of Singing the living tradition (16. song in Unitarian songbook )
