Evening Divine Liturgy Cancelled for Monday, Feb. 1

Deacon David — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 15:00:30 +0000

Given the continued icy road conditions and the potential for re-freezing this evening (and the state of our parking lot, which is a solid sheet of ice) Fr. Nicholas has made the difficult decision to cancel the Evening Divine Liturgy that was scheduled for tonight (Feb. 1) to celebrate the feast of the Meeting of the Lord in the Temple.

Divine Liturgy Cancelled for Sunday, Jan. 31

Deacon David — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 23:37:24 +0000

After considering the extreme cold and chance of additional snow that is forecast for tonight, and the urgent advice given by the Department of Transportation, Fr. Nicholas has decided to cancel the Divine Liturgy scheduled for Sunday morning, January 31, in addition to Orthros and Church School (which were cancelled earlier this afternoon). Accordingly, there will be no services on Sunday morning. Please stay home, safe and warm, and worship with your family.

If there is any change to the schedule for Monday (Evening Divine Liturgy at 6:30 p.m. for the Presentation of the Lord at the Temple), a further announcement will be made.

Service Schedule for Sunday, Jan. 31

Deacon David — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 20:25:48 +0000

Due to the weather, Orthros and Church School are cancelled for Sunday, January 31.

Please be prudent and exercise extreme caution in deciding whether or not to venture out Sunday.
