Trinity Lutheran Church offers an “English as a Second Language” conversation group. Every year students, researchers, and visiting professors from all over the world (and their families) come to Norman and to the OU community. On Saturday mornings, volunteers from Trinity present talks on topics of interest from Oklahoma and American culture, followed by English language practice in small groups. A Bible study is also offered, and there are wonderful opportunities to make friendships along the way. Join us for one Saturday or for more – no obligation. You’ll be glad you did!

SEPTEMBER NEWS
OU freshmen moved in on August 17, and the semester started on August 24 for everyone. Our ESL conversation group started too! We were with our Lutheran “Sooners” at the OU Involvement Fair on August 22 to hand out information for both groups and to talk to all interested students – international or otherwise.
Our very first ESL meeting was an informational “get to know you” meeting on campus at our usual location in Cate Center One. We wanted to start the ESL group meetings on August 29, so we can get started around the same time as other campus groups.
This Saturday, September 5, we are inviting the international students and our Lutheran Sooners college group for “Ice Cream and Cookies in the Park” at Reaves Park (in the same pavilion where we had our picnics in the past).
September 12 will be our first regular ESL group meeting with a presentation on “Things to Do in Norman and in Oklahoma” and our regular conversation groups.
This is a great time to learn more about Trinity’s outreach to international students at OU. Drop in on a Saturday and learn with us. Sit in on a conversation group. There are no expectations and no obligation. And there is always food and fun to enjoy.
Curious to learn more? Talk to John or Vickie Zubialde – or to any one of our volunteers. We would love to have you visit the group!
