Foothills’ Children's Minister, Judy Buss, is heading up a team of individuals to host a parenting seminar this Spring. The seminar is called "Parenting With Purpose" and will take place at Foothills Church on Saturday April 4, 2020. Judy shares some of her thoughts about why she is offering this seminar:
”Family is my passion. Being a mother of 5 and Nana of 8, my heart is full. And although parenting (and grand parenting) are my favorite professions, they have also been some of the hardest for me. Children don’t come with a User Manuel.”
“Over the years, my circle of influence has continued to grow. From parenting my own children….to influencing many. It has been an amazing journey that has taught me many life lessons. I have organized a teaching co-op, been a teacher/family educator for Head Start all while getting my degree in Early Childhood Education. I’ve had the privilege of teaching parenting strategies in China, Haiti, and here in our neck of the woods with the Strengthening Families organization. I’ve settled in as Children’s Minister here at Foothills and Administrator at All Star Preschool the past 15 years, and continue to seek to influence families around me.”
“One thing that has stood out to me on this amazing parenting journey is it really does takes a village! Parenting is something done better in the company of community. Let’s come together and learn from each other, encourage one another, and prepare for what’s ahead!
