Scripture encourages us to let God’s Word dwell within us (Col. 3:16), but to do this, we must learn to dwell in the Word. Even in this time of distance from our communal celebrations, Lectors and Psalmists have the ability to renew their understanding and appreciation of God’s Word and improve their skills in proclaiming it. Let us use this time well.
Dwell in the Word, a two-part video conference, will lead Lectors and Psalmists to reflect on the Word of God, its meaning and power, its connection to the Eucharist, and our role in the Word’s transformative work.
Session One will encourage theological reflection on the Word of God and the ministry of proclamation. Session Two will focus on practical skills and techniques for effective and inspiring proclamation, with breakouts specific to both Lectors and Psalmists.
We come together – in our dwelling places – to dwell in the Word. In so doing, we pray that on the joyous day when we may gather again for worship, the Word will dwell more richly in the Body of Christ.
