Great Lent - Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church
On behalf of the Annunciation in Little Rock, welcome to our parish! While the Annunciation in Little Rock was established in 1920 and has been in its present location since 1983, Orthodox Christianity has spanned the globe since 33 AD. This parish was originally founded by a small group of Greek immigrants, but today the Annunciation aptly reflects America, and is comprised of over 200 families representing 18 different nationalities all witnessing to the good news of Christ, striving to reflect His love, and living according to the principles and discipline of the Orthodox Church. Adhering to Orthodox Christian principles which are concurrently Scriptural, Traditional, Apostolic, and Eucharistic, this church family continually searches for dynamic ways to please, serve and follow the Lord our God.
As always, please keep in mind that research and study are but one step in the spiritual journey towards the Risen Lord in the Orthodox Christian Church. The process of learning more about this precious faith and spiritually growing closer to our Lord and Savior during Great Lent & Holy Week will always be incomplete without practice, prayer, and participation in the worship of the Church. Therefore, please feel free to visit the Annunciation in Little Rock and pray with us on any given Sunday or for any Lenten & Holy Week Service. You will discover a welcoming Church family, an ancient and dynamic Orthodox Christian Faith, and perhaps even a spiritual home where you and yours may want to plant roots and expand your relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
May you and yours have a blessed Great Lent and Pascha!
Rev. Dr. Nicholas J. Verdaris
