Fellow Citizens and Friends of Florence and the Pee Dee,


“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endures forever.” Psalm 135

 For more than fifty years you, the generous citizens of our city, have continuously expressed your support and love for our Greek Orthodox Church Community. For more than fifty years you, our neighbors and friends, have turned to our ladies and their delicious delicacies to satisfy your sweet tooth. For more than thirty years you have come to visit our Church “in the thousands” to enjoy our Greek Heritage, Culture and Ancient Greek Orthodox Christian Faith during our annual Greek Festival. Many of you, each and every year, look forward to “becoming Greek” for a few days, some even testing your dancing skills to our music. We are humbled by your love and grateful for your support these many years.

 

Please accept our sincere gratitude and appreciation. There would be no Greek Festival without YOU! We are thankful to Almighty God for the support and honor you continue to bestow upon our Church and the Greek Orthodox Community of Florence, and we pray that God will bless you, your families, your businesses, and our city!

 

We’ll see you next year!

OPA…and God bless!
