SUMMARY:Proclaiming God’s Word: Exploring the Ministry of Reading
DESCRIPTION:Proclaiming God’s Word: Exploring the Ministry of Reading\nThe word of God is alive and active (Heb.4:12)\nOur Catholic faith is alive! We practise our faith because it is an encounter\, a relationship with Jesus Christ. We encounter Jesus first as the Word of God made Flesh. So God’s Word must have a central place in our lives.\nThe Ministry of Lector (Reader) is a privileged one. Each time we read and hear God’s Word\, we encounter God anew. Those who proclaim God’s Word in the Liturgy are more than ‘readers’. We proclaim God’s Word in the words of Scripture. Therefore it is important for us to give time to our personal spiritual growth and formation.\nThese workshops will look at the Liturgy of the Word in the context of the Mass\, how the Scriptures fit into the Liturgical Year\, and look at the Scriptures themselves: what’s in the Bible? What’s it all about? How can we better understand God’s Word to enhance our proclamation and the congregation’s understanding?\nDate: Saturday 12th September\, 2026\nTime: 10.00am – 1.00pm\nVenue: The Niland Conference Centre\, Rosary Priory\,\n93\, Elstree Road\, Bushey Heath\, WD 23 4EE\n(Nearest rail station: Bushey & Borehamwood; then bus 306 to Rosary Priory; ample parking available)\nRecommended donation £5\, payable online\, stating ‘Readers’ Formation’ as reference.
