Middle America Wee Kirk Conference 2009

P.J. Simonds (with Mark and kids)

PJ is a pastor's wife, busy mom of three, and a longtime volunteer and paid youthworker in small churches. She is currently the director of the ROCK Youth and Family Center in Oakdale PA, a mission and ministry of their wee kirk there. Before that she served with her husband in Phillipsburg KS and Monroe City Indiana.

Children's Sermons

Youth and Kids ministry in wee kirks requires an every kid matters approach. PJ has revived musty church basement nurseries and worked to make children's church a real preparation for worship. Her workshop will be a place to draw on experiences and ideas in using the children's church as a transition and equipping little saints for worship with the congregation.
