Ilkei Arpad, the minister of the Unitarian Fellowship of Szekeleyzsombor. He comes to preach at the Fellowship once each month. His primary parish is the Unitarian church in Homorodujfalu.
Members of the Szekelyzsombor Fellowship presented an embroidered tablecloth to the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Redwood City.
I presented a book of paintings of California to the president of the congregation, Jobb Gita, pictured at the far left.
Here is a group photo at the entrance to the Unitarian Fellowship of Szekeleyzsombor.
Some members of the Fellowship with me in the church. On the table is a chalice made by Carolyn Cheney, a member of the Unitarian Unversalist Fellowship of Redwood City, and presented to the Unitarian Fellowship of Szekeleyzsombor.
Arpad lit the new chalice and said a prayer. The chalice with a candle in it is a custom from United States Unitarian Universalists that was new to the Unitarians of Szekeleyzsombor. Afterward, we all stood in a circle and blew the chalice out together.
The inside of the church is modest, although it does have nice pews in the front. In the rear, you can see the wood stove that is the churchıs only source of heat in the winter.
Here is the chalice on the communion table in front of the pulpit.
