MERCY MINISTRIES

The activities and programs at Westminster that we have gathered under the heading of "Mercy Ministries" are directed at attempting to assist people in our congregation, community, and even the world who have spiritual and/or physical needs as we become aware of them.

These programs are intended primarily to provide opportunities for hands-on involvement in alleviating suffering, encouraging those who are downtrodden, and assisting those who are overcome with difficulties or experiencing some sort of special need. Occasionally there are also opportunities to provide financial assistance to those in need both locally and elsewhere.

Examples of some of the activities include:

• Collecting supplies and donations for local groups that provide aid to people in need.
• Yard work and home repair work for folks needing help.
• Collecting donations of money for midwest flood victims.
