Junior GOYA
The Annunciation Jr. GOYA ministry is designed to provide our parish’s young people an atmosphere whereby they may learn more about themselves and their Orthodox Christian faith as well as expand the bonds of love and fellowship in the safety of the Church. Girded in the guidelines of the Archdiocese, the Annunciation Jr. GOYA centers around four basic elements: Liturgy, Worship, Service and Witness. These elements are the cornerstone of all Jr. GOYA activities whether religious, athletic, or social. This youth ministry under the direction of Fr. Nicholas,along with the assistance of the Jr. GOYA advisors and parents, plans a wide variety of activities and projects throughout the year to enrich and edify the life of the Annunciation’s young people. Parents of Jr. GOYA members are encouraged to make this youth ministry a priority within the home and enable their children to be active members. Finally, this critical ministry of the Annunciation always needs the parents of Jr. GOYAns to offer their time and talent to this endeavor. One need only contact Fr. Nicholas or an advisor to help make the Annunciation Junior GOYA soar to the glory of God.
