Lay Reader Duties

Revised January, 2005

Words of Welcome

Good morning. We would like to Welcome you to Crosby United Methodist Church. We are glad you are here.(You may want to introduce yourself at this time also.)

Announcements

Please note the announcements on the back of the bulletin. (At this time, highlight times and important meetings. Always mention the flowers. Some announcements may be given to you at the last minute. Activities that occur weekly, may just need to be mentioned along with their starting times. Any new or important announcement may need to be read in its entirety. Please note that the announcements are running on a loop on the screens before the worship service begins. )

At this time, we would like you to take time to greet your neighbor.

The Scripture Text

(The scripture reading will be on the lectern. We are now using the Revised Standard Version.)

The Scripture Reading this morning is: “________________” found on page of the pew Bible (this is printed in the bulletin-but should be read by the lay reader)

Notes:

*Please enter with Pastor and Music Director-sitting by Music Director and using the lectern on that side. Once scripture is read, you can either remain or leave by the side door if you wish to return to the congregation.

*Call the office on Thursday for the scripture text if you want to get it early for review prior to Sunday. It can also be emailed to you in it's entirety.

*A copy of the bulletin is normally ready by Friday morning if you want to pick up a copy to review announcements.
