Regular Hours: Divine Liturgy at 10am!
Sunday School is Reopening! We invite all families with children to participate this Sunday. In person lessons will take place outdoors, in front of the church (or Nicholson Hall in case of inclement weather), on a rotation basis. We begin this Sunday with the high school class. Every age group will alternate between one lesson at church and three on line lessons at a time that is chosen by the group. All children are welcome in church every Sunday and we are restarting the children sermons.
Please continue to sign up and be emboldened to participate. As you feel ready to come and enjoy services in person, we joyfully welcome you! Please sign up today for the rest of the fall at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A45AEAA22A0FD0-annunciation Livestreaming continues in the event you are continuing to limit outings and sticking closer to home. We are here for you online and in person!
Sunday livestream services continue this week with Divine Liturgy at 10:00am. Our main form of transmission will be on our YouTube channel, but you will find links on facebook and on our website http://annunciation.ma.goarch.org/ Don’t forget to subscribe to the channel! If you have a newer TV, you can use the YouTube app and watch on the big screen.
