Appropriately enough, this year's theme is "Connect". I can think of few better ways for followers of Jesus to put aside irrelevant differences and connect with God and each other than through prayer.
This year's See You at the Pole will be held on Wednesday morning, September 24, at 7 a.m. at the flagpoles of junior and senior high schools around the world. Student are encouraged to attend for all or part of the event as they are able. The time praying around the pole usually lasts between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on the students themselves. Some years students have brought guitars and led some worship with a couple of songs, but other times the time just consists of students joining together in prayer. Following the event, be sure to look for the Spahr van which will be packed with goodies (donuts, fruit, cookies, juice, etc.). All students who participate are invited to enjoy some snacks, no matter which church they may attend.
Adults are encouraged pray for these students during this time, as well. Those who are able often join in prayer from the parking lots of the schools. (Those wishing to donate some food for the students are welcome to bring it that Wednesday morning or drop it by the church office the day before.)
