Reverend Sandra Alleyne continues to work alongside FCC members’ group to provide a monthly worship service at Prairie Lakes Nursing Home. Many of you know her as a long-time member of Noblesville FCC. She grew up in this congregation and FCC sponsored her for ordination in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in 2013. In addition, she was FCC Minister of Visitation for a number of pre-pandemic years; a position that morphed to include liturgist, Shepherd Community ministry, offering pastoral prayers, eulogies, and occasional sermons. It was during this tenure that she also took a DOC mission trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Besides receiving an M.Div. at Christian Theological Seminary, she has a B.A. in Religious Studies from I.U. and an M.S. in Foods and Nutrition from Purdue. She recently retired from a full-time position in Public Health after more than 35 years serving the Indianapolis community. She asks for your prayers, support and guidance as she discerns where God is leading her next through the DOC Search and Call process.
Rev. Sandra wishes “to thank all at FCC for the continued opportunity to preach and reach out to the people at Prairie Lakes. Special thanks to Pastor Brooks and Pastor Nick for their generosity in sharing this mission. Our current core group of Julia Nicholson, Ken Bitner, Mary Whallon, and Cathy Musselman have become my good friends as they bring much joy, comfort, and hope to a beloved group of residents at Prairie Lakes. The residents, in turn, teach us much about patience and faith. It is truly a life-affirming ministry. Please consider joining us on any 1st Sunday at 2 pm. Thank you.”
