About Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church
Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, welcomes visitors as part of an Orthodox Christian community under the Ecumenical Patriarchate and the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. The parish has celebrated 125 years of ministry and offers a rich liturgical tradition that engages all the senses—sight, sound, smell, and touch—in worship. Sunday services begin with Morning Prayer (Orthros) at 8:30 a.m., followed by Divine Liturgy from 9:30 to 11 a.m., conducted in both English and Koine Greek, the language of the New Testament. The church invites newcomers and seekers to experience the ancient Orthodox faith in a welcoming community atmosphere, with coffee and fellowship following each service. The parish emphasizes that visitors may have blessed bread after the liturgy as a symbol of hospitality, and inquiries about Orthodox worship practices and the faith are welcomed in conversation with Fr. John during the fellowship hour.
