Other News and Updates


Choir
Our Parish is in need of musical leadership and volunteer choir members to participate in the Divine Liturgy.  Anyone interested in participating should call Helen Bambalis at
336-778-9255. Parishioners of all ages are encouraged to seriously consider the future of our choir ministry, which has been a part of our parish since 1937.

Your participation is vital if this ministry is to survive and be passed on to our children.

Our choir members stand ready and willing to answer any questions you may have regarding your participation. Please consider becoming a part of this important ministry.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

90th ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATIVE ALBUM
We would like to include and honor in our 90th Anniversary Commemorative Album, all of our Annunciation Church members, past and present, who have served or are currently serving in the United States Military. Please provide any information of parents, grandparents and great-grandparents that have served and  additionally, if they have served in a particular war or conflict, and the branch that they served in.  We will need their full name.  Send the information via email to Ann-Marie Dentiste-Speas at amdentiste@gmail.com and add to the subject line, "Annunciation Veteran". The deadline to submit this information is August 31st.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Coffee Hour
We will have a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board in the breezeway with a list of available dates for coffee hour through August.  Everyone is welcome to participate.  It is a wonderful way for two or more families to get together and share simple snacks in fellowship with other parishioners after Sunday service. The list will be updated monthly with available open dates for all to be able to participate.
The available dates are:

July 31st, Aug. 14th, Sept. 4th., Sept. 18th, Sept. 25th

You may also call the church office to sign up.

Update on Commemorative Album

Many of you have inquired on when the album will be printed. Unfortunately, we are still waiting for people who paid for an ad to submit their message and photos. In order for us to complete this book we need all of you who purchased an ad to submit your missing parts by August 1st by emailing album@wsgoc.org or contacting Stacey Karagiorgis at 336-575-6904.  If you don't submit anything by this date, you risk the ad you paid for not being included in the printed album.
We are also looking for historical photos from the church ministries throughout the year. You can send these to the same email as above.

  Nicholas Thomas Mathes  March 1, 1934 - June 14, 2024 It is with sadness, but with hope in the Resurrection, that we inform you that our beloved brother in Christ, Nicholas Thomas Mathes "Nick", 90, of Winston-Salem, passed away peacefully in his home on June 14 surrounded by his family's love. Nick was born March 1, 1934 in Klapsi, Greece  to Thomas Nicholas  & Fotini Hamberis Mathes.  His early years were spent in his beloved village of Klapsi, where he expressed his adventurous and mischievous spirit accompanied by his equally mischievous friends, many of whom he remained close to until the end. During the Greek Civil War, Nick was separated from his family fleeing a siege in Karpenisi.  His family frantically searched for him, fearing he'd been captured by the Communist Party.  Fortunately, Nick had fallen into the Greek Nationalist Camp & was safely returned to his family after 3 terrifying days. After enduring the unspeakable hardshi...

Reynolds Hospice Home after many visits with family and friends.  Fotini was born on March 27, 1929, in Karpenisi, Evrytania, Greece to the late Demetrios Bobocharis and Artemisia Chamis. She grew up in Karpenisi, Greece where her parents owned the town’s successful bakery. Fotini survived two wars while living in Greece, but she persevered and came to the United States with her sister Marika in 1955 to begin a new life filled with opportunities that the U.S. could give them. Fotini was a proud Greek woman, a devoted daughter, sister, aunt, godmother and friend. The entire Greek community was her family.    Fotini was a lifelong devoted member of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She was...
