Due to the impact of the winter storm on Williamston, regretfully our usual weekend services are cancelled.

* No Vespers tonight - Saturday, 01/13
* No Matins or Divine Liturgy - Sunday, 01/14

Snow is forecasted to continue tonight and until noon Sunday, leaving up to three or more inches of accumulation. Wind temperature will be low enough to inhibit the work of salt on the roads - so it will be slippery.

Please visit https://www.antiochian.org/liturgicday to find instructions for Readers Vespers, Readers Orthros, and Readers Typica at the bottom of the page in the Permanent Liturgical Resources section to help you pray at home.
