Judy Smith Gives a Decade
of Service to Families of
Florida Conference
Spring was definitely in the air. With God’s leading, it was time for a change of venue from nursing into church ministries for Judy Smith, retired director of children’s, family, and singles’ ministries for Florida Conference. Later, she found herself in a new position with many avenues to utilize her creative abilities as she became director of children’s, family, and singles’ ministries for Florida Conference on April 1, 2014.
“Judy became so involved with children’s ministries that each summer she would come to Camp Kulaqua and direct the Cup Camper Track for summer camp. She also started a retreat for single parents with children so they could experience a family time together for summer vacation.
“I would like to say Judy is wired for 220 power. She never runs out of energy! We hope she keeps coming to summer camp, because she makes a difference in children’s lives,” said Phil Younts, Camp Kulaqua director.
“What you give is what you get, so give God your best,” Smith believes, “and He will provide for your blessings abundantly.” This spring, Smith’s 10th year anniversary with Florida Conference awakened a desire to see if the Lord still had plans for her.
On her last day of employment at Florida Conference, October 3, 2024, she shared this quote: “Often when you think you are at the end of something, you are at the beginning of something else. I’m looking forward to what God has planned for me.”
The Conference family wishes blessings on Smith in this new time of life, just as she has blessed others.
