Another church fad |
Eddie Robbins |
Having a nickname for the church like "The Creek" or "The Side" or "The Bridge." I am seeing these a lot now. But, the original may have been "The Mount" many years ago. |

We called it, "the church" when I was growing up.  _________________ Doctor of Bovinamodulation |

The problem with "The Pointe" is that there are too many churches that use "Pointe" in their name so you wouldn't know which one they were referring to. |

The fad might have started with Barney Fife when he called the little two-cell county jail "The Rock."
"Now, here at The Rock we have 2 basic rules!"
