Orthodoxy on Tap: a monthly gathering hosted on the second Thursday of the Month 7-9pm by the Cathedral either at the Kafenion of the Annunciation Cathedral or a local restaurant. Young adults are invited to share in fellowship over food and drink, while listening to a guest speaker offering discussion on contemporary topics related to Orthodoxy. Some previous topics have included: racial reconciliation within the church, radical forgiveness and vocation at work. Our speakers usually include area professionals who are living out their Orthodoxy faith in their respective life and careers.
Brunch After Liturgy: The third Sunday of the month, we proceed to a nearby restaurant to socialize after Liturgy. We coordinate the location and make reservations; folks cover their own meal. This is a great opportunity to get to know us!
Outreach / Service Days: Multiple times throughout the year, we gather to support the Annunciation Cathedral and local area ministries through volunteer activities. Specific details are shared closer to the event.
Additional Activities: We host opportunities to gather with the young adults at the Annunciation Cathedral as well other area Orthodox Churches through fun events such as hikes and game nights. More information is shared closer to the event.
Fee: None except for outings however we encourage all Annunciation Cathedral members to become stewards of the Cathedral. Please see our Giving page HERE.
Purpose: To provide opportunities for area young adults to stay connected to the Church, while offering avenues to form and grow meaningful relationships.
