ANNUNCIATION GARDEN NEWS
A hardy group of parishioners added annuals, perennials, and a couple of shrubs to our garden beds. Mulch is still to come. If you would like to volunteer to either spread mulch or help with the weeding through the summer, please see either Kim or Will Lianos to talk dates. If you would prefer to send money, please consider donating $25 or $50 to help defray the cost. Please mark all donations "Garden Money" and make all checks payable to Annunciation Cathedral. If you have questions or ideas to share on our gardens, please reach out to Kim Lianos at kim.lianos04@gmail.com. Let's make our Cathedral home stunning!
PARISH COUNCIL NEWS
- June marks our 2022 Stewardship Campaign. You may have been brought to the Orthodox Church on your 40th day, or the Orthodox Church may have been the destination of your spiritual journey. For both, the Church is a spiritual home to which we may always return. We are brothers and sisters in Christ – a family. We are stewards of the Gospel and the stewards of our parish. We see our church, not as it is, but as it could be. We offer our treasure and ourselves sacrificially, so that, as members of the Body of Christ, we may reach our full potential in Him. If you have completed your stewardship form, thank you very much. If you have not, please fill it out and turn it in at your earliest convenience.
- We are also interested in your feedback to help better understand the needs of our congregation and to increase attendance, membership and participation in church activities. With that in mind, we mailed surveys, along with Stewardship forms, to every family we have addresses for. If you did not receive one, please contact the office or ask a parish councilperson, and we will get one to you. Your candid feedback will make our parish the best it can be.
- There are drop boxes by the main door to the church for both the Stewardship form and Survey. Or, you may mail them to the church address.
God bless you, and we look forward to seeing you in church.
