Description

In the biblical readings of our church services, God becomes present in the form of the Word. The words of Scripture can still bring life, comfort and liberation today. This becomes possible when the lector reads the text appropriately. Then the reading aloud in the service becomes a proclamation of God’s closeness. The course day prepares you for this ministry.

Objectives
– You will find an approach to the biblical texts
– You will expand your knowledge of the Old and New Testaments
– You will understand the sequence of a church service and learn the order of reading
– You will read more confidently at the microphone

Working method
Impulses, working in small groups, practical exercises.
