The Season of Advent

The Episcopal Church of the Annunciation

"Our Mission is to bear witness to God's love and invite, encourage, and prepare God's people to share that grace with others." 

Changes to Worship Services During the Season of Advent  

Both services during Advent will be Holy Eucharist Rite I with music. We will also be using blue Altar hangings to emphasize the change from a penitential tone only to that of anticipation and hope. Rite I incorporates a penitential nature with traditional language that calls us into a spirit of anticipation and expectation as we await the coming of Jesus Christ, our Emmanuel. See Fr. Paul to learn more if with any questions.

Advent Wreath Workshop this Saturday, November 30! Saturday, November 30 at 10AM, our Altar Guild will host their annual Advent Wreath Workshop. No need to sign up - just come and get creative with us! We can give you some guidance in making your wreath if you like. There is a fee of $15 for supplies (wreath form, candles and candle holders.) Bring clippers and greenery from your yard if you can. We can package the materials for you if you cannot attend but would like to make a wreath on your own. Any questions can be directed to Bliss Peterson at 678-662-0508, blisspeterson@gmail.com or Brenda Pinkston at 770-977-7664, bpinkston57@gmail.com
