Greek Orthodox community makes commitment to City of Memphis with renovated church hall | Arts & Culture

A longtime Memphis church congregation unveiled its new $1 million renovation project this week.

Members of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church celebrated New Year's 2013 by ringing in the new year and making a commitment to its Memphis neighborhood by renovating its longtime church hall.

The sanctuary and hall have been at North Highland and Sam Cooper in Memphis since the 50's and this renovation project will keep the Greek community and Orthodox Church at that location for years to come.

The Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church is the site of the popular Memphis Greek Fest every May. Organizers have that festival planned for the weekend of May 11.
