Reader 1 announces the Psalm or Hymn following the Old Testament Reading.

Reader 2 announces the Gradual Hymn before the Gospel.

Please come to the lectern promptly and be in place before the Psalm finishes.

There is a copy of the Revised Common Lectionary on the frontal chest in the Lady Chapel.

All the readings are taken from Year B. Feb. 26 is marked with an asterisk as it is taken from the Revised Common Lectionary, not the Church of England reading. Those for March 5 are still to be chosen to fit in with the theme for the family-friendly service. Fr. David will notify both readers nearer the time.

If you are unable to fulfil your duty, please change with another reader or contact me in good time to arrange a substitute. Please inform Fr. David as well.

Thank you for continuing with this valuable ministry at St. Mary’s.

Robert.
