On Mother’s Day, May 13th, Renate Amann will speak about the “job” of being a mom. Renate and her husband moved to Minnesota from Germany in the late 1990’s where they started their family of three. After a legal career working for the German government, Renate started a new path in the Twin Cities as a teacher and proctor for the German language, while raising three children. In honor of all mothers, her talk will focus on what it means to be a mom, the challenges of raising children without extended family living nearby, overcoming cultural differences and the 24-hour challenge of always being on the “job”.

Renate’s talk will take place after a brief coffee break following the Sunday morning service. Those who are interested will be invited to take their coffee/tea into the Christy Room for about 45 minutes. The first 20-25 minutes will be an informal talk by Renate, leaving the remaining time for questions from those in attendance.
