Bishop Bev said "It’s always impressive and humbling to see what God is doing in the lives of others and to hear just some of their unique story - of how they have heard God’s call and they have dared to say yes. 

Our eight new Readers could have sought to serve Christ via an easier route. But that wasn’t their vocation and they remained faithful to their calling. Through perseverance, faithful listening, testing and discerning and by continued prayer, reading and learning, they have stepped forward and entered the Lay Order of Reader Ministry.  

They will now play a key part in the mission of the church as they tell, serve and give, breaking open the Word of God, illuminating hearts and minds with the riches of the Scriptures and making Christ the Bread of Life known to a hungry world.  As we give thanks for our shared ministry in the gospel, please keep our new readers in your prayers."
