Lectors read the Old Testament and Epistle lessons during services. They also may lead Morning Prayer in the absence of the Priest. They are all volunteers, trained in the public reading of scripture, who have been license by the Rector to read the lessons or lead the Prayers of the People. 

 The ministry of the lector is an intensely public one, and it is not for everyone! However, if you are at least 14 years old, baptized, able to clearly, audibly, and publicly read scripture in English, and feel called to serve our parish in this important ministry, you should consider becoming a lector.
