UPCOMING EVENTS
The colorful traditional costumes and flags from many
countries; the sounds, aromas, textures, and tastes from
Winter Festival culminated in a cultural and sensory
overload.
Conversational English School, also known as CE, held
their Annual Winter Festival on February 12. International
Students worked many hours to prepare presentations,
food, and displays representing
their countries. "Out of this world"
food was sampled from Mexico, Bulgaria, China, Japan, Dominican
Republic, Bosnia, just to name a few. Peruvian
tea, egg rolls, rendang, klepon and many other
native dishes were tasted.
Sounds of music filled the room - from Yemen,
Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Iran, Pakistan &
Turkey. Chinese students sang Amazing Grace with a traditional
instrument accompaniment and asked everyone to join in their language.
A presentation of Tai Chi was given.
South Korean students, dressed in beautiful
gowns, sang their National Anthem. Local
artist, Barbara Binford Davis, painted
during the Festival and shared a sample of
her art with us. Hispanic students in
colorful costumes gave a heartfelt
presentation. Students from India danced
to traditional music, and a student from Pakistan performed a beautiful
song. High school students from Macon East Spanish Classes also
attended the Winter Festival.
The world is HERE in Montgomery. More than
300 adult International students attend CE
classes each week to practice and improve their
English. The students represent 51 countries. More than 40 preschoolers
attend our childcare classes. Many students require transportation which
is provided by church vans and drivers from our participating churches.
Pray God gives us disciple-making eyes to see the people He has brought
to our city to hear the gospel. Will you join Him in His work of making
disciples of all nations?
