Today Is "See You at the Pole" Event At Schools
CBN News reports that this morning around the country school students are taking part in before-school prayer at the annual See You at the Pole event. Held on the the fourth Wednesday of every September, organizers describe SYATP as "a student-initiated, student organized, and student-led event. That means this is all about students meeting at their school flagpole to pray—for their school, friends teachers, government, and their nation." The National Network of Youth Ministries coordinates the event. (SYATP website). Last year about 2 million students at over 50,000 schools participated.
