From its beginning, the purpose of the Mercy Ministry Group has been to provide our congregation with opportunities for works of mercy within the community. Since all Christians are asked to help with works of mercy, St. Elmo Presbyterian Church has sought to provide various opportunities for all those who worship with us. While some of us serve individually, others have benefited from knowing about group efforts, and St. Elmo Presbyterian has continued to support efforts for reaching out into the community and working with other Christians involved in works of mercy.

The organizations we support are reviewed and selected yearly as we look into our budget for the coming year. They are selected on a number of criteria, including proximity to our church as well as relationships we have with the organizations and individuals involved with them. And we are mindful of the spiritual commitment of the agencies we support. As a result, the list may change from time to time.
