Students gather for prayer at schools' flagpoles

Students will rally around school flagpoles today as they participate in the 17th annual "See You at the Pole" (SYATP) nationwide rally.



The rally was designed for students who recognize the need for them and their peers to ask God for intervention in their lives and communities. The event is student-initiated and student-led. One source says three million students from all 50 U.S. states and from countries around the world participate each year.

This year's SYATP theme, based on John 17:20-23, is "Gather, Unite, Pray, and Come Together." Participants will pray for classmates, teachers, schools, families, communities, states, and countries around the world.

The United States Department of Education's "Guidelines on Religious Expression in Public Schools" says students may participate in SYATP, as well as read their Bible during free time.

As I was heading off to work this Morning, I was hearing on the radio ( I listen to the Moody Broadcasting station ) from callers who reported in on the different schools who had kids and adults there standing around the flagpoles and praying. It truly was a Blessing!
