Lectors

Youth, men and women who proclaim the Word of God at Eucharistic and non-Eucharistic celebrations. Lectors generally rotate through the regular schedule of Sunday and Holy Day liturgies. Opportunities are given to those who are available to assist at reconciliation liturgies, Morning and Evening Prayer, weddings and funerals. Lectors are represented on the Liturgy Committee.

    • Gifts Desired: This ministry is open to those who have good proclamation skills and can devote themselves to time preparing to proclaim the scriptures. Lectors are assisted in this task by the Coordinator of Lectors, members of the Liturgy Committee and peer groups. Additionally, all lectors receive material to help them better understand the scriptures they proclaim.
    • Commitment: Formation session (1-1/2 hr.) and small group practicum (1-1/2-2 hours). Prayerful preparation of readings prior to Sunday liturgy. Lectors are expected to be present for an assigned liturgy or secure a substitute.
    • Opportunity: To serve the community gathered at worship by responding to the call to be “God’s voice box”.
