Vestry Nominee Biographies
Ellen Mays, Vestry Nominee
I’m Ellen Mays and am happy to be nominated to serve on the Vestry again! I grew up in the Methodist Church, and found Saint Andrew’s after graduating from Furman. I have attended since 1998, and was confirmed here in 2000. I have celebrated many events here in the life of the church and in my own life, including Mary B’s baptism. But it is our people and the weekly worship that help me feel knit into the fabric of this beautiful place. I’ve served many roles over the years and currently read with the book club, work on the yard crew, coordinate Rebuild Upstate projects, and participate in ECW. I work for SC DPH as Greenville Health Department Manager. I enjoy reading, walking, sipping tea, and tending my house plants. My daughter is now a freshman at UNCSA.
