Typika Prayer Service

In addition to these official meetings, the ISU OCF also meets weekly for a brief, Typika prayer service at 7 p.m. each Wednesday night in the Chapel of St. John's Episcopal Church, 2338 Lincoln Way. These Typika prayer services are not officiated by a priest, but are instead a series of prayers and psalms that are recited by each attendant at the service, which lasts about 30-45 minutes. Georgi Batinov is coordinator for these Typika prayer services
