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)
​
LORD, You, empower us to be able to make it
through these days.
-Your, Up-righteous, Right Hand reaches down
and grabs us when we slip or may be about to fall.
-We thank You for this day and all that it holds.
-May give thanks to You as we go through our
day seeing the Awesome Wonder You Are.
-Forgive us our tendencies to judge.
We pray in Jesus Name by the Power of the
Holy Spirit. Amen
Isaiah 41.10 “fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not
dismayed, for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee; yea,
I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right
hand of My righteousness.”
Matthew 7.1-3 “Judge not, that y be not judged. For
with
what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with
what
measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy
brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that
is in thine own eye?”
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.
