| Michael Bowen congratulating three of his faithful workers from VHHS |
For the last several years I have had the opportunity and privilege to work with groups from Vestavia Hills High School's "School to Work Program". Each group has a job coach that brings the kids to us every Thursday during the school year to work with us on whatever tasks we have for them that week and that has included gardening, sorting food, creating care packages for students and the elderly, writing Mother's Day cards and a whole bunch of other projects.

CSM is honored to be a partner with VHHS
and humbled to be honored by them! |
This month I was invited to represent Christian Service Mission at the VHHS "School to Work Program" Awards Day in Vestavia, and had the opportunity to present a CSM certificate of achievement and a t-shirt to the students who have worked with us all throughout the year! When I arrived, the place was packed with family members, teachers, faculty members and other organizations that have allowed the students to work with them throughout the year as well. All of the 30+ students have been involved in a work-force training opportunity during the school year and have had the chance to work each week with a handful of different ministries and local businesses, as well as with the school lunch program to help provide meals to their fellow classmates.
It has truly been a blessing to me to get to know these young men and work with them each week. We have a ton of fun, and there is not a week that goes by that I don't laugh at least a hundred times while we get a lot of work done in a short amount of time. They are great to work with and have been a great part of our team at Christian Service Mission! Thanks for all of your help guys, and we will see you next year!
