Typica Service on January 7, 2022: Assembly for St John the Forerunner
Gerald Largent
Christ is Baptized in the Jordan! Glorify Him!
January 7 is the second day of Theophany. On this day of the month the Orthodox Church commemorates the Assembly for the Holy, Glorious Prophet, Forerunner, and Baptizer-of-Christ, John.
Today's prescribed readings are Acts 19:1-8 and John 1:29-34.

The St. Panteleimon Ministry serves senior living communities (nursing homes, assisted living, independent living, memory care, etc.) throughout Northeast Ohio. Prior to March 2020, 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. By the Grace of God, in-person services with our residents have resumed as of October 20, 2021. We pray that this form of ministry will gradually increase and ultimately equal or exceed what we were able to do prior to the pandemic. Regardless of the status of the in-person ministry, it is our intention to continue providing prayer service videos for our residents, shut-ins with computer access, and to the general public.
