The current rotas for readers & intercessors can be seen and downloaded here:

GUIDANCE FOR READERS & INTERCESSORS:

• Familiarise yourself with your reading before the service;
• Come forward to the lectern during the hymn, psalm or canticle which precedes it, so that you are already in place and ready to begin your reading or intercessions straightaway;
• Announce the reading simply - it is not necessary to give "chapter and verse";
• At a non-communion service:

              Announcement: "A reading from [book of the bible]..." or "A reading from the Gospel of [name of Gospel]..."
              Ending:  (after a pause) "This is the word of the Lord." to which the congregation respond "Thanks be to God."

• At the communion service, for the gospel:

              Announcement:  "Hear the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to [name of Gospel]"
              Do not add any other information, before or after these words.
              Congregation respond "Glory to you, O Lord."
              Ending: "This is the gospel of our Lord", to which the congregation respond "Praise to you, O Christ."

• Only move from the lectern once the congregation have given their response.
