2011 Wee Kirk Conference
October 17-19, 2011
For pastors, CLP’s, and lay leaders of PC(USA) churches of 200 members or less.
The purpose of this conference is to inspire, equip, motivate, encourage, and provide rest and refreshment for pastors, CLP’s and leaders of small Presbyterian congregations. Provided at a modest cost, this conference is designed as a gift from individuals, larger congregations, and governing bodies in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
The Barnabas Gathering
This is a specialized track for pastors and CLPs, along with their spouses, who are serving in their first pastoral call. The Barnabas Gathering begins ‘early’ on Sunday, October 16, 2011. In addition to joining the main conference on Monday evening, participants will lodge and fellowship together, share in devotions, hear from and engage a panel of seasoned pastors, along with other opportunities for specialized break-out sessions and encouragement.
