Phyllis McClelland
I joined St. John's Church in 1952 when my family (Philip and Catherine Green and sister Joan) moved from Riverside where we attended St. Mark's Episcopal, hence a cradle Episcopalian. Like many my age our fathers were serving in the war and we were not baptized until we were older. I was therefore baptized, confirmed and married here at St. John's.
I worked as a Sunday School teacher while in high school and again when my children were young, as well as served as a chapel leader. I worked with the youth group (prior to the hiring of a youth director). I have worked on many committees, rummage sales, Candlelight and Shrove Tuesday suppers. I have been serving on the Altar Guild for the past 14 years and am a cook for John's Meals.
My husband Jim was also raised at St. John's when his family moved here in 1956. We have two grown children, Mandy and her husband Joe Pitcavage and son Ted as well as a one year old granddaughter, Anna Catherine Pitcavage. I continue to work full-time as a medical transcriptionist.
