Our Lay Readers read the Old and New Testament lessons during our Sunday services. Many of our Lay Readers have been certified as Lay Eucharistic Ministers. Lay Eucharistic Ministers administer the bread and wine at worship services and to those who are home-bound or otherwise unable to attend church services. They may also visit and share the sacrament with members of the congregation who were unable to be present at the celebration because of illness or infirmity.
