Several churches in the Athens area conducted in-person services on Friday before the arrival of a winter storm expected over the weekend. In response to the forecasted snow and hazardous conditions, many have canceled upcoming in-person gatherings and moved their services online.
This change aims to ensure the safety of congregants while maintaining access to worship during the storm.
**Why this matters**
The decision to cancel in-person services and offer virtual alternatives helps prevent travel-related accidents and health risks during severe weather. It also allows communities to stay connected and continue religious observances despite disruptions caused by the snowstorm.
