We need your support for the 2024-2025 ESL program!   

We are in the planning phase for another year of the English as a Second Language (ESL) ministry— a meaningful service ministry reaching out with God’s love to our immigrant neighbors supporting their attainment of English language skills, and cultural understanding as members of the Prince of Peace community! This is truly a “Serve the World” kind of ministry!  

We are excited about your interest in volunteering to teach or assist in daytime and especially evening classes for this academic year starting in September.    

Please let us know of your interest and drop a line to ESL@poplc.org or call 703-776-0947 to the program coordinator, Mark Rumohr with your questions.  Student registration is coming up rapidly, on 11 September.  Don’t delay—let us know how you want to help.  

You can always bring your ECHO donations to the church and put them in the big white bin in the hallway near the office. MOST NEEDED ITEMS LIST
