Each quarter, we will take one month in Missions to feature a “Community Spotlight.” This means we are spreading the word about an organization or group in our area that is doing incredible Kingdom work. These groups are not necessarily OUR missions, but their work is serving our congregation, community and beyond, and we want to support their efforts! On Sunday, our communion offering went to this quarter’s Community Spotlight: Mercy Community Healthcare.
So who is Mercy Community Healthcare? In their own words, “We provide quality, integrated healthcare for all ages with a focus on the underserved. This includes primary care, behavioral and mental health services like counseling and psychiatry, chronic disease management and care coordination, which includes assistance finding medical specialists and access to social services and basic needs. We offer a sliding scale, self-pay program to assist the uninsured and underinsured. Our staff opens their hearts to every patient and family. We believe in integrated care – body, mind and spirit. Mercy makes long-term, lasing health more possible than ever.”
Stay tuned this month as we highlight more about Mercy Community Healthcare (including testimony from former patient – me!)
Love, Pastor Carlisle Jones
