EFL and beyond

The fall term of the joint James Lees-Covenant Community–Crescent Hill English as a foreign language teaching ministry was to start on Monday, September 20, and run through Monday, November 22. The churches will again serve supper to students, teachers, and all involved in the ministry (and their families), starting at 6:30 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays. Most classes will follow supper and run from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Children’s activities will be included.

This ministry provides a wonderful opportunity for Crescent Hill folks to connect with our neighbors, to build on our Guatemala mission partnership and study of Spanish, and to further learning and show Christ’s love.

There are additional opportunities for involvement in this ministry, for those who are able:
(1) to serve as teachers and teachers’ assistants (particularly on Wednesday night) (for more information about becoming involved, contact Eva at 727-6778).
(2) to cook and serve meals and clean up (particularly on Monday, October 4; Wednesday, October 6; Monday, October 25; Wednesday, October 27; Monday, November 15; and Wednesday, November 17) (for more information about becoming involved, contact Andrea at 429-4558).
(3) to be involved in children’s activities (for more information about becoming involved, contact Ana at 762-3463).

Folks participating in the EFL ministry and allies in the three churches have begun brainstorming about other possible ministries with new immigrants, including possibly establishing immigrant-run cooperative enterprises or establishing a center for new immigrants. Share your own ideas with Pastor Jane or Holly. More information will be forthcoming.
