Dumfries

Crews are rehabilitating a water tower on the northbound side of Interstate 95, near Route 234 at Dumfries. A message painted on the side of the tower greeted travelers, “Welcome to Prince William County.”

Over the course of the next two months, crews will sandblast and paint the interior and exterior of the tank. They’ll also place a water mixer in the tank to maintain water quality, as well as conducting general repairs and improvements to bring the tank into compliance with the latest Occupational Safety and Health Administration code requirements.

In honor of its grand opening, the church prepared 1,000 pounds of meat and invited the community to participate in its Great Banquet on Sunday, April 17, 2022. 

The Great Banquet, an annual event put on hold since the pandemic, marked the church’s Easter service and will also be an inaugural ceremony for the new building and the church’s Blue Ribbon Results preschool that opened last fall.

This Easter, a church in Dumfries will open its doors and plans to serve a banquet fit for a king.

Potomac Valley Church will host its Great Banquet from 10 a.m to 3 p.m. Sunday, April 17, 2022. The church will grill 1,000 pounds of meat and invites the community to the table to share in fellowship.
