Welcome
Pastoral Care Counseling focused on love extended to all since creation.
Welcome to Mercy Seat
Exodus 37.6 God made a mercy seat (propitiatory" - specifically an atoning sacrifice, Jesus, 1 Jn 4.10).
CHRIST HAS COME, CHRIST HAS DIED AND CHRIST WILL COME AGAIN. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
​
The LOGO PICTURE shown is a drawing by Rev. Sylvia Bell incorporating the concept of the Mercy Seat and the cross. Exodus 37:6 NISB, (6) "He made a MERCY SEAT (propitiatory - specifically an atoning sacrifice) of pure gold, two and a half cubits (the length of the forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger usually 18 inches/46 centimeters) long and one and a half cubits wide. (7) He made two cherubim (angels - from the lowest to highest rank as follows: angels, archangels, principalities, powers, virtues, dominions, thrones, cherubim, and seraphim) of gold; he made them of hammered work at the two ends of the MERCY SEAT; (8) one cherub at the one end and one cherub at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the MERCY SEAT at the two ends. (9) The cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the MERCY SEAT with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the MERCY SEAT and John 1 4. 10."
​
In MERCY SEAT'S logo, I have placed the cross on the MERCY SEAT symbolizing Jesus Christ, our atonement with seven (7) rays of light emanating from the cross.
I invite your comments and will post new comments in a week - bellsylvia.mercyseat@gmail.com

"'And this is the judgment" (the critical moment), 'that the light is come into the world, and we loved the darkness rather than the light.'" (John 3:19)
​
Gracious and Loving God, we thank You
for slipping in on us when we are going
through our day as usual.
-We seek You daily and know that You are always present upholding us with Your Righteous Right-hand.
-Your right hand lets us know that your
power is active overturning difficult
situations and delivering the righteous.
-Thank You for slipping in on us with kind
words expressed when we might say,
what!,
-or look up with eyes like “deer in the
headlights,
-or squirrels in the road not knowing
which way to go.
-Forgive us when we forget Your
Righteous Righthand has saved us.
We pray in Jesus Name by the Power of
the Holy Spirit. Amen
Psalm 118.15-16 “Shouts of joy and
victory resound in the tents of the
righteous: ‘The LORD’s right hand has
done mighty things! The LORD’s
right hand is lifted high; the LORD’s
right hand has done might things!’”
Hebrews 1.3 “The Son is the radiance of
God’s glory and the exact representation
of his being, sustaining all things by his
powerful word. After he had provided
purification for sins, he sat down at the
right hand of the Majesty n heaven.”
Our Mission
​
Our Vision
Mercy Pastoral Care Counseling was birth from a statement made reference counseling services Chaplain Elder Reverend Bell was alleged to have given to two individuals as their pastor. She had knowledge of both individuals, but had never counseled either in any way other than perhaps their attendance in a worship service. From these speculations, she realized a deep desire and need in the community of faith. Mercy Seat Church and Pastoral Care Counseling was conceived by counseling that took place by the Grace of God without hands on office intervention.
​
There are many seeking a deeper relationship with our Creator, God or a Higher Power. They need someone who is willing to listen and provide an honest informed response. In that respect, as MERCY SEAT counselor, We seek to enlighten, as well as, promote healing and healthy living.
​
Our Goals
Mercy Pastoral Care Counseling through the leading of the Holy Spirit desires to extend the liberty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as set forth in scriptures, theology, experiences and doctrine. We do not seek to present a one sided dialogue but an all inclusive dialogue spanning creation - past, present and future. This dialogue which is available to all comes through communion with Creator, God or a Higher Power through the revelation.
Mercy Seat began meeting in Rev. Sylvia Bell's home on October 10, 2010.
