| Hello!
As we head into fall, we are so blessed to be able to look back at an immensely fruitful summer. Many lives have been changed just by a few days of serving God's people in the city. Here are some great reflections from this past summer:
“I was given the opportunity to speak in English and Spanish and learned incredible stories of the people I talked to. I could have talked forever. It made me realize that if you just give people the time of day they are dying to open up and talk” (New York City Trip Participant)
"God has taught me to have a more sincere and humble heart for service, and a renewed compassion." (Los Angeles Trip Participant)
"When people ask you what you did this past week, wouldn't it be something if you could say, 'Watch me - you'll know what I did then, by what I do now.'" (Toronto City Host)

Jessica Harrington had been searching the web for a summer job when she came across
CSM’s posting for a City Host. Serving the city of Chicago with CSM seemed like the perfect
opportunity so she jumped on it!
Upon arrival at the CSM Philly housing site, most people are greeted by
at least 3 kids who live in the neighborhood. They will proudly say,
“Welcome to CSM Philadelphia (emphasis on Philadelphia), my name is
Baron”. And most people have these same kids dangling from their arms
and legs by the time they make it to the door.
