See You at the Pole

See You at the Pole is an annual meeting for public prayer, held by schools in mid-September. They gather at the school’s flagpole outside of the regular classroom hours, usually at seven a.m. The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom of religious expression. It also guarantees freedom from the imposition of religion by the government…including within public schools.

On Wednesday, September 15, Grace Christian School held the annual See You at the Pole event. Many of the students, visiting parents, and the Grace Fellowship Church staff came to school early to pray for their government, school, and peers. The students enjoyed praising God as the Chapel Band led them in praise and worship. Jamie Goolsbay, Vanessa Lyons, Neil Strom, Lindsay and Jessica Davis, and Jacob Briscoe shared from their hearts and prayed for their school. See You at the Pole touched many of the students’ hearts and brought unity to the student body.
