Upcoming Events
Our most wonderful weekend of the most wonderful month at POA is NEXT WEEKEND!!
Due to forecasted bad weather, our most wonderful weekend of the most wonderful month at POA has BEEN MOVED TO NEXT WEEKEND!!
POA Family Weekend will now be October 31 through November 2. 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. Yeah…we had to rearrange everything, but we’re still all IN THIS TOGETHER!
It all begins at the LA District Campground on Friday, October 31st with tons of fun, food, and fellowship. Don’t miss the meal we’ll share together at 6:45PM followed by the POA Kids Costume Parade.
On Saturday, November 1st there will be even more fun, more food, and more fellowship. Go shop at our POA MarketPlace, play wiffle ball, pickleball, basketball and more. All day there’ll be activities for all ages, highlighted by the pumpkin painting & hay ride for the kids. Saturday evening at 6PM, don’t miss our Family Weekend concert with special guest, and POA’s own, Amanda Kinner. That will be followed by our fireworks spectacular!
Then on Sunday morning, November 2nd, at 10:00AM, we’ll gather at POA for Sunday Morning Worship Service. (There will be NO Sunday School on this day, and attire will be casual.)
After Sunday Morning Worship Service, feel free to pick up lunch and gather back at the campgrounds for a bit more fellowship as Family Weekend comes to an end.
We hope you’ll join us for Family Weekend. Just like POA, Family Weekend is A PLACE FOR EVERYONE!
