Join us for See You at the Pole™ on Friday, September 23 at 7:30 am in the Redeemer Flagpole Courtyard. The verse for See You at the Pole™ this year is Acts 1:14 which says; "They all met together and were constantly UNITED in prayer.
See You at the Pole™ is simply a prayer rally where students meet at the school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. It is a student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led event. See You at the Pole™, now considered the global day of student prayer, began in 1990 as a grass roots movement with ten students praying at their school. It was inspired by the initiative of some students in a youth group in Burleson, Texas. The teenagers felt led to go and pray at night at several area schools during a weekend youth group retreat. They had a profound time of prayer, and their experience was shared with thousands of other youth from across Texas in the form of a challenge in June 1990 at a large conference. More than 56,000 students on 1,200 campuses in Texas and three other states were documented at the first See You at the Pole™ in September of that year. The movement continued to grow nationally and internationally. Twenty-five years later, millions pray on their campuses on the fourth Wednesday in September, just like us today.
