LAY READERS

A Lay Reader is willing to serve God and Severna Park United Methodist Church’s congregation by reading God’s Word as a vital part of our Sunday worship.  In addition to reading the Scripture from the pulpit during a Sunday morning service, the Lay Reader also reads the Invitation to Offering and collects the offering plates during the Doxology.  The volunteers who are willing to serve as Lay Readers are included in a schedule with an opportunity to serve once or twice a year at the 9:15 or 11 am services.  There are also opportunities to serve at the 8 am service.  Instructions and a mentor are provided.
