Our most wonderful weekend of the most wonderful month at POA is almost here!!

POA Family Weekend is October 30th – November 1st. We’re so excited to get to share these few days with you. We’ll fellowship. We’ll eat together. We’ll play games together. We’ll laugh together. We’ll make memories.

That’s what families do, and we’re all family!

It all begins at the LA District Campground on Friday, October 30th, with a Friday evening of lots of food & fun. We’ll all enjoy a GUMBO dinner together. Saturday, October 31st, will be slammed full of all sorts of things for all ages. (Our POA MarketPlace, food, pumpkin painting, face painting, hayrides for the kids, games, concert, fireworks and more.) A highlight for the kids on Saturday afternoon will be the POA Kids Duck Hunt. They come dressed in their favorite costume, and bring a bucket or basket. They’ll be hunting rubber ducks, and getting candy.

Then on Sunday morning, November 1st, at 10:00AM, we’ll gather at POA for Sunday Morning Worship Service with special guest minister, Raymond Woodward.

A note for those that plan to take their RV’s

out to stay during Family Weekend:
