The Minister's Page...
I feel so blessed to be a part  of this
wonderfully vibrant faith community!
My background is in both social work
and ministry, having received my
Master of Divinity from Chicago
Theological Seminary in 2007, and
Master of Arts from University of
Chicago's School of Social Service
Administration in 2006.
Prior to coming to Grand Ledge, I
lived in Illinois and served as the
Caregiver Specialist for West
Suburban Senior Services, providing
practical and emotional support
to caregivers (spouses, children,
friends, neighbors) of the elderly,
gaining invaluable experience with
issues of aging and with the unique
"sandwich generation."
I believe that worship services are a time to connect with the divine, and to connect with one another. I preach with the intent to link ancient faith stories with modern issues, to remind us all of our Christian calling, and to provide a word of hope, faith, and healing in a broken and hurting world. Below please find the text of my recent Sunday sermons.
I hope that you will join us for Sunday worship and I look forward to getting to know you as you get to know us.
Blessings,
Pastor Nicolette
