We sat on the left side with the women. Ron sat on the right side with Miklos and the men. The service began with a prayer. He offered an opening prayer and a short reading from the Bible. We then sang two hymns, sung Hungarian style.
Every note is held as a half note, regardless of the musical annotation.
Everyone sings very loud. With all the men s voices on one side and all the women s voices on the other it was a unique sound to be sure. We sat, and Rev. Farkas preached with no written script for 20 minutes. We sang another hymn. In a departure from tradition, our group made a presentation of gifts we brought.
