GIANNA HOUSE GIVING TREE
Annunciation Ladies Philoptochos are conducting a Christmas project to support Gianna House in Eastpointe MI.
The Gianna House provides a home for young homeless pregnant girls in need. In addition to providing a home, it assists them in obtaining needed life skills, so they are able to lead a productive healthy life.
Brochures regarding the Gianna House have been placed at the giving tree. The giving tree with tags has been placed in the narthex.
Please choose a tag with a gift named on it. Bring the gift you would like to donate back to the church by Sunday December 11, 2022.
Philoptochos will deliver the gifts to the Gianna House.

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
Any questions can be directed to your nearest choir member or Kim Lianos at kim.lianos04@gmail.com.
