NEW CHURCH MEMBERS!
Welcome to our church family to these folks, who joined our congregation on February 22nd!
Bryana Joyce is a nurse at MetroHealth in Cleveland and the mom of Alaya Hitchens and Elliott Joyce. Bryana and Erik Joyce were married in our church in May of 2025, and Bryana has been participating in church activities and events for several years. Her sponsor is her mother-in-law, Irene Joyce.
Mary Martha Krutch & Joe Hattery will be getting married in our church in September of this year. Joe and Mary Martha live in Bowling Green Ohio, but attend our church whenever they are in town. Joe’s mom and dad, Martha and John Hattery, have been members of our church since 2021 and will be sponsoring the young couple.
Rev. Jill Kundtz has been attending our worship services for several months. When she moved to her current home in Strongsville, she was looking for a UCC church. Lo and behold, her building on Westwood is practically across the street from the church. As a retired minister, she knows when to follow God’s signs. Jill’s sponsor is Rev. Pat Jefferis.
Marianne Luca has been joining us in worship for several years, and has been singing with the choir on holidays. She was raised in the Catholic church, but has found a spiritual home with the UCC. She has many friends here at Strongsville UCC, including her sponsor and fellow Southwest Community Chorus singer, Ingrid Dickson.
Jo-Ellen Rokicsak has been worshipping with us for several years. She is retired from PNC. Jo-Ellen visited our church one Sunday and was impressed with the warm welcome she received. She continues to be a part of our church family and has decided to make it official. Sue Gigliotti is her sponsor.
Jo Ann Thomas has been adding her special fashion flair to our church family for almost a year. This fall, she joined the choir, as singing is one of her passions. She has many friends who are members here at Strongsville UCC. Jo Ann is a long-time member of the Southwest Community Chorus, as is her sponsor, Sharon Maresco. Judi Pavisich, Jo Ann’s long-time friend, joins as her co-sponsor.
