Annual See You At The Pole Held

September 25, 2008

The annual See You at the Pole rally was held Wednesday morning  at Northview High School.

About 75 NHS students gathered at the flagpole as school began to pray in the non-denominational event.

See You at the Pole is 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.

“Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening!” from 1 Samuel 3:9b was theme verse for the See You at the Pole event at thousands of schools across the nation Wednesday morning.

“It’s tough being a Christian student today, isn’t it? You have to make a lot of choices about who you are—and who you’re not. You have to try and follow God in a world that misunderstands Christianity and tolerates its principles less and less all the time,” according to the See You at the Pole website.

See You at the Pole is scheduled annually on the fourth Wednesday in September.

    I was also very proud to read that these students are taking a stand and meeting at the pole to pray. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

    May God continue to bless you students!

    I am very proud of all these young people for thier courage and determination to take a stand for the Almighty and give him praise and respect that he so deserves.

    These are very troubling times now that we are all trying to survive in and so many are turning against the Lord now, more than ever before. But through all of these young people and thier faith to make a difference, no matter how big or small, thier is always hope that God will prevail and find a way to touch us all!

    Thank you Northview students ~ May God bless each one of you!
