My name is Dale Noel and I feel it is a great honor to be given the task to watch over the spiritual life of our congregation and you in particular.  I also feel it is a duty that I am only able to accomplish through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  I relish and appreciate the prayers for me that strengthen me in this mission.

I've been married to Mary since 1976 and we have 4 sons with 3 grandsons and 2 grand-daughters.  I grew up in NW Detroit and Mary was in Brighton.  We have always lived in Brighton or Howell.  We were married at Shepherd of the Lakes and transferred to Heart of the Shepherd when we moved to Howell in 2003. 

The move to Howell has been one of the best things that has happened to us.  That is not to say we do not cherish our past experiences but that Heart of the Shepherd has been a true blessing in our lives.  That is a tribute to the members of the congregation and the work being done by the Spirit.   I also serve as one of the Deacons at this church.
