See You At The Pole Rallies Planned At Northview, Ernest Ward, Flomaton
September 20, 2009
The annual See You at the Pole rally will be held Wednesday morning at Northview High and Ernest Ward Middle schools, and a special rally will be held Wednesday night in Flomaton.
Students will gather as school begins to pray in the non-denominational event. See You at the Pole will be held at 8:15 a.m. at Northview High School, and about 8:40 at Ernest Ward Middle School.
A community-wide See You At the Pole Rally will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Flomaton High School Auditorium. All students are invited. The free event will feature music from FACE (formerly Soul Society) and speaker Bo Bell.
See You at the Pole is a student-initiated, student organized, and student-led event. Students typically pray for their school, friends teachers, government and the nation.
““Engage: Go and pray . . .” from 2 Kings 22:13a will be the theme verse for 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. This is the 20th year for the event that started in a Ft. Worth, Texas, suburb.

WE SHOULD MAKE PRAYING AT THE POLE….. A WEEKLY THING
Ring-Ring, Ring-Ring. Hey Thinker, it’s for you. It’s the clue phone.
Would somebody please organize a rally for the preservation of secularism in American culture and the firm separation of church and state in public schools.
If the rally is held at the Flomaton H.S. Gym, why should the tax dollars of agnostics, atheists, Jews, Buddhists, disagreeing Christian denominations, and others who pay for the lighting, clean-up, etc. that will be necessary !!! Speak out or give the country over to zealots. We have a Constitution that needs enforcing right NOW.
FCA/Teens for Christ will meet tomorrow, Sept. 22, at 8:15 A.M. in Mrs. Jernigan’s room at NHS to organize SYATP.
“I understand Northview FCA will be holding an organizational meeting for this Tuesday, at NHS, time and place to be announced at school Monday, Sept. 21. Hope all interested students can make it! Also, spread the word…I understand the students couldn’t pass out flyers or put up signs at school to advertise this event.”
That sounds like a clear violation of their First Amendment rights To me ….
