JULY DISCIPLE OF THE MONTH:
RAY SNYDER

How long have you been a member of Saint John’s? 
30 years

In what areas do you volunteer?
I have spent most of my time at Saint John's singing in the Adult Choir, but I am also a Reader.  In the past, I have served on Congregation Council and Stewardship Committee as well as helped with church work days and holiday preparation/set-ups. 

What initially interested you in these areas?
I enjoy singing and reading. My dad had been active in stewardship at his church, and I felt this was something I could do, too.

How long have you been volunteering your services to Saint John’s?
Probably almost all of my 30-year membership in various capacities.

What advice can you give people thinking of volunteering?
One can benefit from volunteering in many ways:  filling a need, meeting new people, being part of a community, and feeling satisfied.
