Time investment

Could be for one event only, in which case it could be from 2-10 hours. Ideal commitment is for a semester or a year, which would include 2-5 events.

Purpose statement

One of our goals for our ESL ministry is to create a context for friendship. Social events are a great context to do that.

Summary of goals

  • Pray over each event and the calendar. How might the Lord use it to help others know Him?
  • If needed, support events at the school such as
    • Start of school year launch
    • Teacher training meetings
    • End of semester parties
  • The type of support needed includes:
    • Rooms
    • Food
    • RSVPs
    • etc.
  • Optional: social
    • Plan one or more social events for your ESL School (morning or evening)
    • Learn about the relationship / social event goals of ESL class Ministry Teams.
    • Coordinate with Link-wide Social Events Coordinator to avoid schedule conflicts and duplicated efforts.
    • Aim for events that:
      • Facilitate conversation
      • Do not require high levels of English ability
    • Decide whether or not to make it child/family friendly
