In this sacred ministry, the Readers have an opportunity to draw the assembly into the Scripture which they are proclaiming. Training is provided, and some expertise in public speaking is essential. Readers are challenged to deepen their love of the Word of the Lord as it is found in the Bible, to continue their study of the Bible and to make the Scriptures a part of their daily life and prayer.
