Volunteer Spotlight: UMC Youth Show How It's Done!

Hard-working and enthusiastic volunteers sorting their
generous donations... a blessing to our city!

This past Saturday, we had the opportunity and blessing of hosting a group of 59 preteens from Mountain Chapel UMC, Riverchase UMC, Gardendale-Mt. Vernon UMC and Liberty Crossing UMC. Not only did this group of kids bring themselves to serve, but they also brought enough healthy snack items for us to make 500 of our Compassion Packs for the underprivileged schools that we serve alongside. With all the extra items they brought, we ran out of bags to fill!

These kids came to CSM after gathering together all of these food items over the last couple of months. This Saturday was a culmination of all of their hard work! While we assembled the bags in the CSM Ministry Center, a couple of our partner schools that will receive the Compassion Packs sent representatives to share with the students a little more about how the bags will be used and distributed.

What an awesome impact these 12-year-olds (and younger) have had for the city and for the Kingdom! Thanks to all who participated, and big appreciation goes out to young people who can demonstrate to adults where hard work and determination can you get you!
