Lectors' Workshop

Jul 27 2013 - 10:00am
Aug 24 2013 - 10:00am

Pr. Brian will lead a workshop for all current lectors and those interested in serving as lectors. Even if you have many years of experience, please plan to come to one of the two opportunities for
training.

The lector workshop is to help us move from good to excellent. The public reading of scripture is not just to facilitate the preaching of the sermon. Rather, each of the three appointed readings, though coordinated with the others and forming the theme of the day, are also significant pieces in their own right.
