Lectors

What is a Lector?   A lector is a lay person who is licensed by the Diocese of Dallas and trained for the ministry position.   Training is provided by clergy at the parish level.   This ministry may also be called lay reader.   

During the service, the lectors read the Old Testament lesson, guide the congregation through the Psalm and read the Epistle (New Testament) selection prior to the Gospel reading. Lectors serve on a rotation basis.
