Dear Annunciation Parishioners and Friends, 

Over the last month our dedicated volunteers have made 10,000 yiaprakia, thousands more pieces of koulourakia, kourambiedes, baklava, and finikia, and hundreds of pans of frozen mousaka and pastitsio!  The fellowship has been enjoyable and fulfilling, especially when there has been enough help!   

We need all hands on deck during this final week of preparations for the Bazaar weekend on November 6th and 7th.  The next big prep day is this Wednesday when we make close to 200 pans of pastitsio -- an all day affair requiring three shifts.   Please go to our parish website to sign up for Bazaar Prep or to help with the Bazaar Weekend, or call the church office at 717-394-1735 or email at office@agochurch.com.  

This is also an important week to promote our Bazaar by selling/giving your Bazaar tickets to your friends and neighbors, and sharing Bazaar posts on social media -- including our Bazaar Online Ordering Site!

A reminder that a third of our Bazaar proceeds go directly to philanthropy.  May God bless us with a safe and productive Bazaar weekend, so that we as a church may continue to receive and spread God's blessings to others!   

In the service of our Lord, 
Fr. Hector

Dear Fellow Parishioners,

In the spirit of helping others during this pandemic, parishioners may opt to purchase their Bazaar tickets and return the unused tickets with their money prior to the Bazaar. These prepaid unused Bazaar tickets will then be used to provide free meals to the poor and needy, during the Bazaar event.

Also a new program “Donate a Dinner” will be instituted during the Bazaar for those in the community who would like to help others in need. Bazaar patrons can donate an additional $10 and this will result in an additional meal for the poor and needy—our church will match this by providing a second additional meal. These additional meals will be provided to those in need during the year through our charity food box program.

Sincerely,
Spencer Phillips, MD, Parish Council President
