Welcome to Neighbors of Mercy
In the book of Leviticus, God is quoted as saying to Moses, “When a foreigner resides among you in our land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God,” (Lev. 19: 33-34, NIV).
In the spirit of caring for our neighbors as Christ teaches us in the Parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10, we will be officially launching our newest ministry: Neighbors of Mercy. Neighbors of Mercy will be a ministry directed to helping people who are immigrants and refugees who have come to live among us in Hilliard and the greater Columbus area. As a part of this process, RELC and Neighbors of Mercy will partner with area non-governmental organizations such as Columbus Refugee and Immigration Services, also known as CRIS.
On July 13th, Neighbors of Mercy will launch during a Mission Moment during our 10 a.m. worship service.
We also invite you to join our first team meeting after the church service on July 27th if you’re interested in helping with this new and exciting ministry at RELC.
