They all met together and were constantly UNITED in prayer.
—Acts 1:14
See You At The Pole (SYATP)
is my very
favorite day of the year. This is the
day when kids from elementary through college gather at the flagpoles of their
schools and pray. I love that there is
this band of Christian kids worldwide that are standing together in prayer on this
special day at this special time. This year the theme is United. They are united as a group and especially
during this time they know that they are not alone. They can connect with other students that
they didn’t know were Christians before. There
is power in being united. Often a group of adults/parents may be seen praying
in support of the students nearby or at a church, city hall or their places of
work.
This
is the 25th year of SYATP and this year more than ever it seems to
be so important. Our country, and our
country’s youth need prayer more than ever now.
They are the next generation of leaders in this country that seems to
have desperately lost its way.
The
day ends with an awesome Worship Rally at churches across the Nation. At North Side Baptist Church we call the
worship rally Pole Vault and it involves churches from all over Parker
County. There will be a guest speaker,
Corey Devivo, and a great time of praise and worship featuring our own Praise
and Worship band. There is nothing more
exciting to a mother than to see kids involved in a movement like SYATP. Seeing them band together as one around the
flagpole, lifting up each other and the issues of our world to their Father in
Heaven is an amazing experience. Then to
see so many come together in worship that evening is a great experience as
well.
Remember
the kids tomorrow as they gather to pray and say a prayer for them. Pray for their safety as they gather. Pray that God will turn our Nation back
towards Him and that eyes will be opened.
Pray for respect to return. Pray
that police officers will be safe so they can do their job and keep the world
safe. Pray for people to have enough of
sin and repent. Pray for these
kids. They are facing a hard world to be
an adult Christian in.
If
you feel like having a great worship experience then join us for the Pole Vault
Worship Rally tomorrow night at 7:00 in the Worship Center here at North Side
Baptist Church.
