THE TRIP TO CELEBRATE #4 - The BIG 50


Mr. & Mrs. Mickey Joyce - October 4, 1958

Mr. & Mrs. Mickey Joyce - October 4, 2008




The First Baptist Church, 123 S. Beaver Street, Flagstaff, Arizona
Built in 1939 and Listed In The National Register 12/31/1991
Designed by Orville Bell in Late Gothic Revival Architectural Style.
The Church has stood for 69 years and is still an active Church.
Our Marriage has stood for 50 years and we are more in love today that ever.

"For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. " Matthew 19: 5 & 6
