Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory Forever!
On August 16, the Orthodox Church commemorates the Transfer from Edessa to Constantinople of the Not-Made-by-Hand Image of our Lord Jesus Christ; and the Holy Martyr Diomedes.
Today's prescribed readings are 1 Corinthians 11:31-12:6 and Matthew 18:1-11.
*** Our next live broadcast on Facebook will be on Wednesday, August 18, at 7pm (Eastern). ***
The St. Panteleimon Ministry serves senior living communities (nursing homes, assisted living, independent living, memory care, etc.) throughout Northeast Ohio. Prior to the pandemic, we frequently held Orthodox group prayer services, like the one in this video, at various locations in our area. From 2010-2020 the ministry held more than 2,600 services for those who cannot get to church on a regular basis. At the present time, our ministry continues in the form of prayer service videos that are offered to the communities we serve, to shut-ins with computer access, and to the general public. We hope to be able to resume in-person services with our residents soon.
