Istentiszteleti sorrend
Ha interneten csatlakozik hozzánk:
Készítsük elő az istentiszteleti helyet. A megtört kenyérdarabokat egy szép kistányérba tegyük, a bort vagy szőlőlét valami olyan pohárba töltsük, ami számunkra ünnepélyességet, különlegességet fejez ki. A liturgiát követve mondhatjuk hangosan az ismert szöveget (hitvallás), ahogy a templomban szoktuk.

Easter April 20. 2025.
The Apostle Paul in Colossians 2:1-3 writes … I want you to know how hard I am contending for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally. My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (Colossians 2:1-3)
I hope my letter finds you in good health, strong and full of hope! We are approaching Easter and are preparing for the celebration of the death and the subsequent resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Some communities prepare for Easter with a general fast. This is a wonderful idea if it is in addition to regular prayer and discernment of God's will. Otherwise, it is just a diet or detox of the body. How can we prepare for Easter? We can clarify our relationship with our environment, our loved ones, and of course with God. And we must recognize the value of our eternity, for which Jesus gave his life and why He gave his life. All lives are precious, but the life of Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, is more precious than all! Jesus paid a price, so that if we accept Him as our personal Savior, we may live forever. This gift, more precious than anything else, can be received today and I urge everyone not to delay accepting it! Along with the special gift of eternal life, Christ has offered the presence of God's Holy Spirit in us. By making Christ - who lives in us - the defining factor in our heart, thoughts, words, deeds and moral values, we will be able to maintain our peace and happiness. I hope that we all find joy in this message! I warmly invite and welcome you and your loved ones on Easter Sunday (and anytime) to my beloved community, The First Hungarian Reformed Church of Los Angeles. In shared fellowship, let’s celebrate with Holy Communion our salvation and the gift of eternal life!
In the meantime, may we all receive God’s rich blessings as promised by the Risen Christ!
Zoltán Bátori, Minister
