The Alter Guild Meet Debra Middleton, Directress of the Altar Guild Debra was born in Somerville, New Jersey, and was raised in a reformed Jewish household. Shortly after her marriage to Tom, a former Episcopalian, Debra accepted Jesus as her Savior and was baptized in St. Matthew's with Lou Anne Perkins and Jean Green standing with her for this most blessed event. In the fall of 2002 she, along with her daughter, was confirmed by Bishop Grundorf.

Debra and Tom live in Riverview. They have four children, three daughters and a son, and a grandson who is the light of their lives. They share their home with a Border Collie mix named Molly, a Maine coon cat named Brandy, and a cockatiel named Bella.

Debra has been very active at St. Matthew's. She served as President of St. Anne's Guild in 2003. She is currently Treasurer of St. Anne's and previously served as Treasurer of the Altar Guild. She can be found at every fund raising and social event at St. Matthew's and plays an active role in the success of these activities.

Debra says that she and her family love attending St. Matthew's. Becoming a Christian later in life, she is comforted and spiritually uplifted by her new faith and particularly by Father Bill. In her own words, "we are so happy to have found St. Matthew's, it has changed our lives".
