For week two of our Local Local teaching and engagement series, we will hear from City Team’s Hermie Smit, the director of CityTeam in the Neighborhood and Church Engagement. Hermie grew up in South Africa, moved to the US in Nov. 1999, and started working for Cityteam in 2001. Hermie has dedicated his life to developing, equipping and replicating teams and partnerships to serve the poor with the loving compassion of Christ and create on-ramps to empower holistic transformation. Alongside Hermi’s teaching from scripture, we will also hear from Local Outreach Director, Brian Warren, and Food Pantry Team Leader, Tomás Carradero, on ways that we can activate our service with our biweekly food pantry ministry and a one-time serve opportunity with local partner, Maintenance for Moms. A special offering will also be offered the following day to grow in our awareness of God’s heart towards the immigrant, with expert Matthew Soerens, as a School of Faith offering.
