Thank you for serving in this important ministry.Please use instructions printed in the lectionary notebook. For
the Scripture Lessons, the reader 1) announces the text, 2)reads the
text, 3)announces "The Word of the Lord" and the people respond,
"Thanks be to God." The Psalm text is considered a response to
the first reading and a liturgical bridge to the second reading,
therefore it ends in silence. Please do not add comments or
thoughts, but simply allow the Word of God to speak in the company of
God's people.
Please practice the readings out loud at least one time previous to reading on Sunday. It really makes a difference. If you are unsure of a word, email or
call Fr Greg. If you find yourself unsure of a pronunciation while
reading, just make one up confidently and very few willl even notice!
