I was one of the readers at mass this morning. It's only the second time I've done it. I'm on the 'C' rotation, so I'm only needed when there are five Sundays in a month, about five times a year. Last year I helped out with the Children's Liturgy of the Word, but I never really connected with that ministry. So when it was time to sign up for this year, I decided to try being a reader, or lector, instead. So far it's been going well. I haven't really been nervous. We have a rehearsal the Wednesday before, so I have a chance to practice at the ambo (the lectern) with the microphone. I still need to speak louder and slower, but I think everyone can understand me! And hopefully my English accent gets people's attention for a moment :)
We're thinking of changing parishes though. We really like our current parish, but it doesn't have a school. So we're applying to the one in the next parish for Kindergarten for Elizabeth. The fee is more for families out of the parish, so if she's accepted we may well start going to mass at that parish instead, so the fees will be lower next year.
