ESL Minisrty Update

Our ESL program has been growing! We ended last semester with an average of 18 students per week. To best serve these students—and new ones that come our way—we want to expand to a total of 5 class levels, starting with the absolute basics, and then working on pronunciation and vocabulary in the most advanced class.

In each of those class levels we have a teacher plus one or two conversation partners. In addition, we have volunteers serving in the areas of Registration, Hospitality (treats!), and Security. We have some of these slots filled for the coming ministry year, but have more open volunteer needs than we originally expected. We will be well staffed and each of us will be able to invest relationally in our students if we get 5-7 more volunteers.

Would you consider serving in this outreach ministry of our church? Perhaps there is someone from your Small Group you could invite to serve with you?

ESL meets 6:30-8:30pm each Monday evening (we ask volunteers that can to arrive closer to 6.) It is most helpful when volunteers can commit to serve weekly, though we do have some that serve every other week (so if that is your availability, don’t let that stop you!) Don’t worry about feeling ill-equipped; we are glad to train you as needed, and find most of us end up learning most of what we need to as we serve and help each other.

Important dates: Volunteer Training: Monday, Aug. 8, 6:30-8:30 p.m.  ESL classes begin: Monday, Aug. 22, 6:30-8:30 p.m.
