The community had a Church as early
as 1910, built by the
people themselves in 1925.
The Church we have today
was built by Mr. John Joe
English of Branch in
1964. This Church was newly
renovated in 1994-1995,
the cost of supplies
and labor being
covered by the residents
of the community.
Recreation Committee - A few years ago, a Recreation
Committee was set up in Point Lance. It consisted solely of
the residents
of Point Lance. The main objective
of this
committee was to
raise funds for a playground to be
set up
for the children in
Point Lance. This committee was
quite
successful, as just last
year a playground was successfully
put into place. Not long after the playground was built, some
members of the community volunteered
their time to place a
fence around the playground.
Graveyard Committee - Presently, Point Lance has formed
a Graveyard Committee
to raise funds for the needed
improvements of our graveyard.
Other Services - The first water system was installed around
1962 and extended later,
and a sewer system was added
around 1976. The
completion of the road was in 1950 and
the arrival of electricity
was in 1966. Also, in 1972, Point
Lance received it's first
telephone services. Presently, the
community has one convenience
store which sells mostly
food and other household
supplies. The store was owned
by Debbie Careen, but recently was sold Bernadette Careen.
Their newly renovated community hall hosts most of the social
events of the community: Bingo, darts, card games, concerts,
dances, and garden parties.
In addition, a resident of Point Lance, Wanda Careen, runs a
beauty salon and a solarium business.
