Outreach Programs

The Episcopal Church of The Annunciation has always had a strong emphasis on outreach to the local community and beyond.  We believe in the responsibilities as Christians to reach out to those in need.  Outreach at Annunciation begins with our Sunday School children donating canned goods. Elementary and teens serve meals at Austin Street Centre and travel to Bluff Utah to volunteer in Navajoland. 

Adults reach out through prayer and personal visitations.  We believe and live our mission statement "To Know Christ And Make Christ Known".

Austin Street Centre  Annunciation has the privilege of providing food for the homeless and hungry of the Dallas area. This vital ministry of the Episcopal Church in Dallas provides perhaps the only meal for some 200 to 400 hungry men, women and children. We need individually wrapped sandwiches, soft fruit and cookies.  And Jesus said, "Whatever you have done for the least of these my brothers (and sisters), you have done for me."
