SYATP – Reporting Back

I attended the See You at the Pole rally at Lakeview Elementary School yesterday. This is a school where Christians have truly had to fight for their rights as American citizens, even being taken to court by the ACLU (the judge said they could have the same privileges as any other group that meets on school grounds). Thankfully, the event yesterday was peaceful, and it was a blessing for me to be there.

It was led by students who welcomed us and asked everyone to gather into small groups to pray as prayer requests were read aloud: for the school, the principal, teachers and other staff, the superintendent, our military, and others. Then we all sang “God Bless America” together. It was a beautiful thing to see these children, their parents and others gathered together with their heads bowed, praying for these things, and it made me so thankful for the freedoms that we have.
