Attending a service in New Jersey
Visitors are welcome at any Orthodox parish. Services follow the liturgical day rather than a fixed programme, so check the daily Scripture readings, the fasting rule for that date, and the saint commemorated before you go. On Sundays the Divine Liturgy is normally in the morning, preceded by Orthros; on the eve of a great feast most parishes serve Vespers or a Vigil.
