Outreach
Jesus tells a story of a man who was robbed, stripped, beaten and left for dead. After
several people pass by this man, a Samaritan stops and cares for the beaten man.
Who was the neighbor to the beaten man? The lawyer said, “The one who showed him
mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.” -Luke 10:29-37
At BUMC, we believe mercy includes three areas: Compassion, Justice, and Advocacy.
As we go about our daily lives, we are called to “Go and do likewise,” to show mercy to
our neighbors. What does mercy look like to you? In what ways can you share the love
of Christ through Compassion, Justice, and Advocacy? These are some of our partners
through which we outreach into our community with our prayers, presence, gifts,
service, and witness.
