SUNDAY SCHOOL
One of the most important things we can do for our children is ensure that they learn about our Orthodox faith. Religious education should be an important part of their lives. Classes for the 2022-2023 Sunday School have begun and are available for students from pre-K (age 4) to 12th grade. Also, if anyone is interested in becoming a Sunday School teacher, please contact Fr. George.
ANNUNCIATION CATHEDRAL CHOIR
Your choir has begun another year in song and we invite you to join us – young and old are welcome in the choir loft. We accommodate all levels of musicality, and you do not have to read Greek to sing. We practice once or twice per month, and sing with our whole hearts. If you have always wanted to try, come sing with us! We encourage you to offer your talents to your church.
“Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. Isaiah 51:11
