Lay Readers: Supporting Worship Through Scripture Reading #164095 (License: Personal Use)

This stylized illustration depicts an open book-likely a Bible or lectionary-with a vibrant illustrated page on the left and lined text pages on the right, illuminated by a flexible gooseneck desk lamp. The bold title “Lay Readers” emphasizes the volunteer ministry of non-ordained individuals who publicly read scripture during worship services. The warm yellow highlights and strong linework evoke accessibility, reverence, and community participation.

Used on church websites, diocesan training pages, or faith education resources to introduce or explain the lay reader ministry; targets visitors seeking information about liturgical roles, volunteer opportunities, or Christian formation.
