WELCOME MESSAGE

"Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest."
(Mt. 11:28)

Welcome to the Annunciation Website,
a ministry of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Modesto, California.
On behalf of the faithful of our parish,
we are extremely blessed that you are visiting our website.

The Church is you, your family, and your relatives. The Church is each of us. The Church is people joined together in a common, spiritual, and religious bond. The bond is Jesus Christ; thus, the Church is the body of Christ! Our Church is the body of believing Orthodox Christians throughout the world; and at the same time, it is the local assembly of
believing Orthodox Christians.

The Church of the Annunciation has over 350 stewardship families, and is a multi-ethnic
parish. More and more people throughout the world are becoming aware of our precious Orthodox Christian Faith. As they learn of the unchanging truths of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, they realize the stability and the continuity preserved
since the New Testament era through today. We invite you to learn more about our Church and our parish family by joining us for worship and fellowship.

Rev. Fr. Jon Magoulias

Parish Priest

Welcome to the
ORTHODOX MARKETPLACE
Incentive Marketing Program

The Orthodox Marketplace is offering our Parish the highest level program - the integrated ‘Shop Share’ program. The features of that program are as follows:

All sales made through our Parish partner link on any products in the store will generate a 10% commission for our Parish.
The entire Orthodox Marketplace catalog will be available to customers who visit through our “Shop” link (above) without restrictions.
Commission levels will be evaluated twice a month for participating parishes on the ‘Shop Share’ plan, and the payout threshold is $100. Checks are mailed to the parish.

TO ACCESS OUR NEW "SHOPPING SERVICE"
PLEASE CLICK ON THE
"ORTHODOX MARKETPLACE"
OPTION IN THE NAVIGATION BAR
AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE

When you click on the “Shop” option in the above navigation bar (at the top of this website) you will be taken to the Orthodox Marketplace, and logged in using our membership code. All purchases made by you will then be credited to our Parish account. I hope you will take this opportunity to visit the Marketplace and see what they have to offer.

Note: If you decide to connect to the Orthodox Marketplace without using the "Shop" link provided above, please use our Parish Partner ID Number (AF-4-011-CA) when you log in to insure that our Parish gets the credit for your purchases.

Thank you for your support with this new venture for our Parish,

Fr. Jon Magoulias

Greek Orthodox Church of the Annunciation has a new service for our supporters that let's you take advantage of great travel prices while you support our Parish!

The Church of the Annunciation
now has its own travel website at:
www.GoAnnunciationTravel.org

Our travel website is powered by the same websites you normally use to book travel - Travelocity.com, Hotels.com and Cheaptickets.com - giving you the same great features and low prices

Our site can take care of all your travel needs, including:

How Does This Work?

Every time you use a travel website, the travel companies pay BIG commissions for your reservation. Now, when you book travel on our website, The Church of the Annunciation will get a portion of the travel commission. You'll experience competitive travel prices and significantly help fund The Church of the Annunciation .

With your help and other Church of the Annunciation supporters...

we can raise thousands of
dollars for our Parish!

Please note: The Greek Orthodox Church of the Annunciation is not involved with your travel arrangements. When you book travel through www.GoAnnunciationTravel.org, you are dealing directly with the vendors just like you would on sites like Travelocity.com.

PHOTO GALLERY
AND
PHOTO STORE

As a service to our Parish I have set up a photo gallery where you may view the photos I have taken of the various Feast Days, Services, and other related activities in our Parish.

The company that hosts the photo gallery site makes it possible for you to purchase these photos from them at a very reasonable price. The following is a sample of their prices for one glossy print:

4 X 6 = $0.19
5 X 7 = $0.99
8 X 10 = $2.99
(plus postage)

Please be advised that neither I, nor the Parish, realize any profit as a result of your photo purchases. So any such transactions are strictly between you and the hosting company.

TO ACCESS OUR NEW "PHOTO
Gallery" PLEASE CLICK ON THE
"Photo Gallery"
OPTION IN THE NAVIGATION BAR
AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE

This link will take you to the site. Once there you will find a "Photo Store’"link at the top of the Gallery Home page where you can then just view the images, or select and purchase them (if you so desire).

If you have any questions or problems regarding the above, please let me know and I will do my best to address your concerns.
