Ministries - Liturgy - Lectors / Proclaimers of the Word
Welcome to the Ministries - Liturgy - Lectors / Proclaimers of the Word page of Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani! Within our faith community, we consider the proclamation of God's Word during our church services as a sacred duty and a profound privilege. Lectors, also known as Proclaimers of the Word, play a vital role in delivering the scriptures, helping to connect, inspire, and guide our congregation. Let us delve into the significance, training, and responsibilities of our dedicated lectors.
The Role of Lectors
As Lectors, our primary responsibility is to present the Word of God during liturgical celebrations. We are entrusted with the task of communicating the sacred scriptures, passages, and narratives to the congregation. Our role extends beyond mere reading; we strive to bring the scriptures to life, capturing their essence and conveying the divine message with clarity, reverence, and passion.
By effectively proclaiming the Word, lectors facilitate a deep connection between the faithful and the scripture. Our skillful delivery invites reflection, encourages spiritual growth, and inspires personal transformation. Through our readings, we unite as a faith community, fostering a sense of togetherness that strengthens our bond with God and with one another.
Lector Training and Preparation
At Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani, we place great emphasis on the training and preparation of our lectors. We recognize the importance of thorough knowledge of the scripture, as well as the ability to interpret and communicate its profound messages effectively.
Our lectors engage in regular scripture study, deepening their understanding of the Holy Bible and its teachings. Through focused reflection, they develop a personal connection to the scriptures, which translates into heartfelt delivery during the liturgical celebrations.
We organize workshops and seminars that provide lectors with professional guidance, sharpening their public speaking skills, vocal techniques, and articulation. We collaborate with experienced mentors within our community who offer valuable insights and support to hone their reading abilities.

The manner in which the scriptures are shared leaves a lasting impact on the hearts and minds of the faithful, offering solace, encouragement, and guidance.
Moreover, lectors embody humility and reverence, recognizing that they are instruments for relaying God's message. Their selfless commitment to faithfully deliver the Word fosters an atmosphere of spirituality and reverence within our church.
