News from Our Partner Church in Homoródújfalu

/in Partner Church/by

This is the translation of the August 28, 2026 Facebook post from our Partner Church.  They hosted a wonderful Youth Camp for a week.  Do visit here to see the wonderful pictures they posted of all the activities. 

Two weeks ago, the courtyard of the care home was alive with the sounds of children; the programs were in full swing, and we played, laughed, and took imaginary journeys around the world together. 🌍☀️ Now, in these final days of summer, it is heartwarming to look back on those beautiful, experience-filled days. As we browse the photos, everything we shared comes back to life before our eyes. 

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed—whether through support, hard work, or in any other way—to making such a meaningful and memorable week possible for our children. 

We are deeply grateful for the support of the Homoródújfalu Várbükk Common Property Association, the Oklánd-Kishomoród Common Property Association, the Bethlen Gábor Foundation, the Gondviselés Relief Organization, and the Homoródújfalu Unitarian Congregation. 

We thank the parents and our fellow villagers for standing by us with donations, assistance, delicious treats, and countless small acts of kindness. 

Special thanks go to our volunteers, who dedicated their time, energy, and love to ensuring the children had a wonderful time and returned home with as many beautiful memories as possible. 

We also thank everyone who contributed to the success of the camp in any way! Summer is slowly drawing to a close, but we hope the memories of these days will stay with us for a long time to come. 🤍✨

How Do We Meet The Moment

/in Board/by

How do we meet the current moment in history? How do we meet this moment of power hungry, and highly efficient administration led by a president who has increasing immunity and few checks to his power?

However much we may detest Trump’s agenda, it is also true that he and his supporters are no slouches. They are moving quickly and efficiently – I may even suggest creatively – on multiple, simultaneous fronts to enact their agenda. Remember Spring of 2025? Trump appointed Elon Musk to slash Government agencies. The citizenry barely had time to react, it happened so fast.
