Announcements & Events
Summer Evening Services
at Point Pleasant
Our summer evening services at Point Pleasant will begin May
24 (and continue through September 6), with the Youth Choir
Concert beginning at 5:15 p.m. and worship at 5:30 p.m. The
facility will open at 3:00 p.m. for appropriate Lord’s Day
leisure activities for the family. Please note that not all forms
of recreation are consistent with the Fourth Commandment,
but only those which directly promote one’s appreciation and
love of God and His Word and works. Consequently, please
show what previous generations called “Sabbath restraint”
in all your activities.
We also wish to urge you that the informality of the setting
not lead to inappropriate or immodest attire. Please, no short
shorts, bathing suits, halter tops, or strapless tops should be
worn in the worship service. It is important that we dress in a
manner that befits such occasions that are meant to sanctify
the people of God. Our dress should aim to please God and
reflect our identity as a “royal priesthood, a chosen nation
and a people belonging to God”….in the world, but not of it.
Church-Wide Barbecue
The annual church-wide barbecue will be held on Sunday,
May 24 following the evening service at 5:30 p.m. at Point
Pleasant, 441 Suncrest Blvd. We will be enjoying homemade ice cream with the barbecue dinner.
