At the poles
Many students are too young to head to the election polls come November.
However, come Wednesday they’ll be heading to poles of a different sort.
Wednesday is See You at the Pole 2008, the annual student-initiated, student-led gatherings that will take place at school flagpoles all across the country.
As in years past, students will gather around 7 a.m. to pray for each other, their schools, communities and the nation. Pictured above are students at Del City High School, along with an adult advisor, praying together as the sun came up on See You at the Pole 2007.
This year’s theme is “CONNECT: Speak, for your servant is listening” from 1 Samuel 3:10.
According to www.syatp.com more than 2 million teenagers met for See You at the Pole last year in all 50 states.
So parents if you are dropping your youths off at school on Wednesday and see a crowd around the flagpole, you are seeing youth prayer in action.
