Béla Mayer's memorial plaque

He was a faithful pastor of the Sajőgömör congregation in Gömör County and its large scattered followers for 38 years. He caught a cold during a funeral in the bitter cold and died on the morning of Christmas Day in the hospital in Rozsnyó, at the age of 64. The entire village mourned him, because he was a gentle, loving pastor to his followers, with whom he carried the crosses of the trials of the double yoke. Twenty-some Lutheran pastors were present at his funeral, they carried the coffin on their shoulders, they sang over his grave. The congregation that was left orphaned does not know if they will get a Hungarian pastor? The Gömörians living in America, who knew Béla Mayer, pray with them, that the Lord will give them a pastor like him. “He who believes in the Son has eternal life.” (John 3:36.) ; ; A festive service commemorated the 50th anniversary of the death of Rev. Béla Mayer and inaugurated a memorial plaque in honor of Rev. Aladár Egyed in Sajógömör on October 13, 2019. The descendant and family of former pastor Béla Mayer also participated in the event.
