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.

8:30 Liturgist/Reader schedule
10:30 Reader schedule

Preparation for reading:

* give a brief introduction to scripture, orienting us to its type and context. 
    Ex:  This reading is from the Psalms, Israel’s book of worship.
       Or, this reading is from the story of King David found in …….

 *During your preparation, identify words for emphasis that convey the scripture’s meaning for you as you read it.

 *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.
