What is a Lector? |
 |
A lector is a reader of the Lessons.
The lector proclaims the Scripture readings used in the Liturgy of the Word.
Lectors at All Saints' Church
We have a dedicated group of people who read the lessons on a rotational basis.
More volunteers are always welcome.
"The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few."
Who may become a Lector?
Anyone who wants to take a more active part in the Sunday Worship service may ask to be scheduled as a lector.
Some people may want to read the lessons only on a particular day;
such as a birthday or an anniversary.
What a wonderful way to celebrate that special day.
Is there training?
There is no formal training.
Every lector does get "Some Advice to Lectors" by the Rev. William Sydnor;
only two pages but some excellent suggestions.
Lessons may be downloaded, in advance, at our Sunday Readings page:
http://AllSaintsLakewood.org/scripture.html
No one is expected to get up and read the lessons "cold"; that is, without some practice.
You can also ask the priest, sr warden or myself (Arlene) for advice.
Again!
If you would like to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or special day by taking a more active part in the Sunday worship service,
email me (Arlene Mortimer)
or call the church office at 732-367-0933.
Thank you.
