(Left to right Dora, Ben, Alice, Geza and Daniel)

Geza ( pronounced “Gai-sah” ) joins our ministry leadership today for a one year term.

His personal “support team” includes his wife Alice, his daughter Dora (just graduated from Grade 12), and his sons Daniel(a 1st year U student) and Ben (heading for grade 6). Geza’s theology training was at Karoli Gaspar Reformed University, Faculty of Theology, Hungary where he earned a Master of Theology degree. He was ordained 17 years ago. Further courses taken in Canada have been directed toward his personal interests in counseling and communicating faith. His previous work in Winnipeg was at the Hungarian Church (Beverley and Ellis) and in rural Manitoba.

Alice, too, is a minister (she and Geza first met during their training in Hungary!) She is presently working part-time at the Hungarian Church and at the Oak Table Community Ministry (serving street people in the Osborne Village area) which is located at Augustine United.

What do they do for fun? Bicycling, swimming , exercising and skyping with family and friend in Hungary. And Geza is very computer literate (a GOOD thing!)

Welcome to Geza and his family.

On May 2nd  we were pleased to welcome to membership in the congregation  A.J. and Jana Venter, Jan Christie, Jan Nato and Sherri Steiner. Back on March 7th we welcomed new members to the congregation Susan Conrad, John and Madeleine Graham, Cathryn McIvor, Bernie and Kim Nelson and Nathan Poole. And on Sunday, June 6, another couple, Henk Booy and Anne Benjamins-Booy.

The Welcome Breakfast was held in May and many of our new congregants were able to be present together with members of the Membership and Pastoral Care committee.

Thanks to  Len LaRue for the pictures.
