EVENT COMING UP: See You At the Pole

Coming up on Wednesday, September 27, 2017 is this year's See You At the Pole Rally. SYATP has been an event since 1990, when ten students decided that they were going to pray on their school property within the laws of our country. Since then, it has grown into a national event, with millions of students from all across the country participating in this event of prayer on the fourth Wednesday of September, right in the middle of the Global Week of Student Prayer. It starts at 7:00 AM whatever your local time may be.

This year's theme is "Fix Our Eyes" with the theme verse being Hebrews 12:2-- "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." By looking unto Jesus and "fixing our eyes" on Him, we are taking a stand that many in our country will not take today. 

I want to encourage everyone to get involved with this event and this special week. This event is a statement that teenagers and kids alike can make by saying that we still believe in prayer. That we still believe with God on our side, nothing is impossible.

For more information on this event, check out their website at http://syatp.com/. They have a large number of resources there, including a store with clothing items and posters, and free documents, pictures, and videos that you can download to help set up and promote the event.

Let's fix our eyes on Christ this year as we pray for our classmates, our teachers, our schools, our government officials, and our country!!
