Eastern Orthodox churches in Charlotte? (Mooresville, Trinity: spring break, high school, college)

[Donna7]

Hi, I've read and read these forums and have gleaned excellent information. Now, for a big question: Are there Eastern Orthodox churches in Charlotte? I see that there is a Serbian Orthodox parish in Charlotte? Anyone familiar with this? Also, other Eastern Orthodox churches in the area? Greek Orthodox, etc.?

Thank you for any feedback on this.

Yes, we have several. The biggest is the Greek Orthodox church, beautiful icons in that church Every September for like the past 20 years they put on the big Greek Fest for three days. The food is awesome!!!

Thank you kindly to both! I sincerely appreciate your very helpful responses. We are planning to visit the area around at Spring break (with our kids) 2007. We have two older sons in college, both studying education. The other ones are in K-8, with one of them moving up to high school Fall of 2007. We are looking forward to driving down (from Ohio) and meeting people, etc. Wishing you a most wonderful week-end. Thank you again.
