Ministry of Lector
This ministry is dedicated to God's living word as proclaimed by the lector. One way to proclaim His Word in Scripture is through the use of structured verse speaking - simple in concept and dynamic in application. By building the reading line by line from the beginning and maintaining a flow of thought to the end, the life contained within a scriptural reading (or any liturgical proclamation) can be enhanced by the lector applying the elements or tools of this structural format.
Sacred Scripture, then, becomes a form of spoken music (powerful or gentle - always respectful) whereby the printed word is lifted off the page and proclaimed as a living, dynamic and timeless form of praise to glorify and celebrate the Word of the Lord.
All Lectors are required to receive spirituality training as well as training in the proper procedures on an annual basis. After becoming qualified as a lector, the lectors are scheduled in advance so as to give them the opportunity to properly prepare their assigned proclamation.
Anyone interested in becoming a part of this ministry should contact either the church office or the coordinator of the Lector Ministry.
