Licensed Lay Readers

St. Jude’s is fortunate to have three Licensed Lay Readers to share with the Priest in the Liturgical, Pastoral and Educational ministries of the Parish of St Jude’s. The Lay Readers have been given instruction in bible study, reading and worship, liturgical leadership, preaching practices, prayer, and developing a Statement of Faith. They preach on rotation through the year and lead Morning Prayer through Holy Week. Along with their Lay Reader responsibilities, Sharon Frank leads the Prayer and Pastoral Care Team, Cyndi Lockhart oversees the Safe Church initiatives, and Bryan Smith is interested in youth ministry.
