Mercy Ministry Teams

Our Mercy Ministry Teams are a vital part of what we are about at Ole Miss. We are deeply convicted that the Gospel of Jesus' Grace is so dramatically transformational, that those who claim to follow Christ must themselves offer the same grace to the hurting around them.


To that end, RUF Ole Miss has the following Mercy Ministry Teams that are at work on any given day of the week across town to help minister to the needs of those around us. Sign up in the form below and someone will contact you with any necessary information about getting involved.

North Mississippi Regional Center (NMRC)
This team makes a once a week visit to the NMRC, a housing and recreational facility for physically and mentally handicapped people in the Oxford/Lafayette County area. This group meets on Tuesday afternoon, if you are interested in getting involved or possibly heading this up please fill out the interest form below.

MANNA Ministry
This team delivers meals to shut-ins all over town through the MANNA ministry out of St. Peter's Episcopal Church on Thursday afternoons between 3 and 5:30p. There are three areas of need: cooking of meals, meal preparation, and meal delivery. Sierra Ulrich is the contact person for this Team. Also, check out the FaceBook page for MANNA.

Graceland Retirement Home
