Today’s episode features a conversation with members of the Ocean Springs Remote Placement Community Partner team out of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Ocean Springs, Mississippi.

Cynthia Ramseur, Lena Melton, and Peggy Butera share their experience of joining together as a community to welcome and support a newly arrived refugee family. Their stories highlight what is possible when we trust that we already have all we need to make someone feel welcome. Listen as they share their “aha” moment, how they invited the gifts and skills of their congregation, and the many lessons learned.

Join in the ministry of welcome by making a gift to Episcopal Migration Ministries. No gift is too small, and all gifts are used to support and grow our work resettling refugees, supporting asylum seekers, and creating welcoming communities for all our immigrant siblings.
