On Thursday, May 7^th, we will observe National Day of Prayer.

Stop by the prayer room any time during the day to take time to pray for our church, community, state, country and world.

This day is designated by the United States Congress as a day for people “to turn to God in prayer and meditation.”

The theme for National Day of Prayer 2025 is, Glorify God Among the Nations, Seeking Him in All Generations

The verse for NDOP 2026 is

Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.

1 Chronicles 16:24

Our Season 2 POA Groups are open, and we’re excited about each of you connecting with our POA family and community.

It’s almost that time again, as we go to the streets with the M25 mission to reach out to the hungry & less fortunate.

Saturday, May 9, we will be cooking & serving food under the I-49 overpass on Murray St near downtown Alexandria. We’ll be there from 10AM to 1PM.

We hope you’re planning to spend Mother’s Day with us!

Join us Sunday, May 10^th at 10AM for our POA Mother’s Day Morning Worship Service.

Mother’s Day at the POA is certain to be a wonderful day of worship and celebrating our great moms.

However, dads & kids, bring mom early and buy her a coffee and a pastry from the coffee truck we’ll have on campus.
