I stole this picture from one of the kid's facebook photo album for those of you at church who might enjoy this photo. It is a great picture of the Royce grandchildren.
Doris and Leonard Royce grew up in the church and served it their whole lives. You might say that they ran the church because they were involved in so many areas of church life. From Sunday School, to the choir, to the finances and Pulpit committees, Len and Doris gave their time and energy to support our ministry. We recently dedicated the grand piano in the sanctuary in their memory.
They had four children: Bonnie Koch, Frank Royce, Cynthia Strouse and David Royce. All four of them grew up in the church and today Frank and Cynthia live close by and are very active members. Kate and Ben Strouse and Curtis and Lauren Royce were active in Sunday School and youth group. The others have all been regular visitors over the years. I feel blessed to have gotten to know them in my time as Pastor here.
Today all the kids are adults and they are all great people that you'd love to call your friends. I believe it is a tribute to the their parents and grandparents who have served and loved God and given them a firm foundation to build a life on.
