"Surprise Guests"

We've been in communication with one of our sister churches in the projected path and have been asked to partner with them in the event that some of their elderly members need a place to stay. We are currently working out the details of this request and will be letting the congregation know by email about the ministry opportunity. We will be looking for volunteers who would be willing to host an individual or a couple from Asbury United Methodist Church in Lafayette. Drew Sutton's mother is one of the pastors of the Asbury in Lafayette. Mitzi Musgraves will serve as contact person at the church. In 2005 we came up with a term for those brought to us by the storm. Instead of "refugees" or "evacuees" they were "surprise guests." It looks like we will have the opportunity to be hosts for surprise guests.
