Melissa Eisenhart: Steward of the Month: May 2018

St. John’s Lutheran church is a large part of my childhood memories. Memories of not only attending church and Sunday School but also the fun activities my family participated in like decorating the church for Christmas, Christmas caroling, acolyting, singing in the junior choir, teaching Sunday School and VBS and cleaning the church kitchen. These activities are considered volunteering, but for me it was just part of my childhood and what it meant to be a member of St. John’s and spend time with my family and friends.

As an adult I have been a youth group advisor, GIFT committee member, helped with the church website-social media and church council member. My husband, Brian, and I are raising our daughter, Madelyn in the church and hopefully instilling in her the importance of not only having faith and attending church but participating and being an active member of St. John’s.

St. John’s needs more people to volunteer their talents and help on committees. Please consider helping in any way you can.
