Today our service was led for the first time by Lesley Gubbins, lay reader* formerly in Coventry diocese but now living here.
Hildegard read Luke 3:1-6 in which John the Baptist prepares the way and Kate spoke on it.
Sue led us in prayer and Harry played the organ.

(A lay “reader” is Church of England language for a lay minister: a person who can lead services, preach, undertake pastoral visiting, offer home communion and conduct funerals. )
