January English classes update

A couple of dozen Crescent Hill, James Lees, and Covenant Community folks gathered on Sunday, January 3 to plan the joint English as a foreign language ministry’s second term. Classes at James Lees/Covenant Community will resume this coming Monday, January 11. Classes will continue throughout Jefferson County Public Schools holidays (like Martin Luther King birthday on January 18) but will be canceled on snow/weather days when JCPS classes are canceled. The term will end on Wednesday, March 17.

The ministry will maintain the same schedule, with classes – probably divided again into three or four levels – running between 7 and 8 p.m. and supper between 6 and 7 p.m. Crescent Hill will again provide the meals, with Andrea taking joining Lowell in spearheading this. Supporters of the ministry who are not actually involved in child care, teaching, or food preparation are nevertheless invited to stop by for the ministry’s meals, since fellowship is a key part of the ministry.

Folks are encouraged to distribute English- and Spanish-language flyers for the ministry to people and at places that the group and supporting congregations didn’t reach last time. New this time is transportation, which supporters of the ministry will hope to provide to families and individuals in need of this, especially during the cold winter months.
