Who can become a Lesson Reader for the church services at St. John’s Lutheran Church?

What do I need to do to become a reader at St. John’s Lutheran church? Call the church office at 815-223-1144 and speak to Eloide Pinter, church secretary. Simply let Eloide know which service (Saturday evening or Sunday morning) is better for you.
Where do I obtain my reading for the service? You will receive a printed reading for your service and a prayer sheet in the mail at least 1 week prior to your scheduled date.
When will I be assigned to be a reader at St. John’s Lutheran church? Once you speak to Eloide Pinter, you will receive a monthly church newsletter. The schedule of readers for the month will be listed. You may be scheduled to read approximately 3 to 4 times a year.
How do I contact someone if I am unable to read at my scheduled service at St. John’s Lutheran Church? You will receive a church directory which lists all members of St. John’s Lutheran Church. Call one of the readers listed during your month and inquire as to whether a switch in service can be made. Let Eloide Pinter know this information.
