When you participate as a reader in worship you help bring the word of God to others’ ears. The order of worship is provided by Wednesday each week so that you may familiarize yourself with the readings and order beforehand. Please don’t hesitate to contact the Pastor with any questions. If you would like to prepare further ahead, the scriptures readings are usually, though not always!) chosen from the Revised Common Lectionary.

*Read a little more slowly than is comfortable. Your words will be better understood. Speak as directly as possible into the microphone.
*After reading the scripture, introduce what's happening next in worship.
