Rural Thursday Blog Hop #36
See You At The Pole at the boys elementary school yesterday morning.
See You at the Pole™, the global day of student prayer, began in 1990 as a grass roots movement with ten students praying at their school. Twenty years later, millions pray on their campuses on the fourth Wednesday in September.
See You at the Pole™ is simply a prayer rally where students meet at the school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. See You at the Pole™ is a student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led event.
I am so thankful that my kids are growing up in a community where this is allowed to happen without any negative backlash!

ReplyDeleteTanya - I have never heard of See you at the Pole. Thank you for sharing. I have not stopped by in a while and thought it was high time. I am glad I did.
