Prayer Circles

We were in attendance this morning supporting our community, teachers, and students at the See You At The Pole program.
There were 115 in attendance. The program started with students singing and reading scriptures. Different ages were involved with the readings and it was very moving.
Toward the end of the program we made several prayer circles with a student being a leader of each circle, beginning and ending the prayer for each circle.
Our Thanks to Sound Effects for providing the music players and speakers so everyone could hear.

History of the event
On 1990-APR-6, a group of teenagers in Burleson, TX assembled for a discipleship retreat. That night they decided to go to three schools and pray around the campus' flagpoles for their friends and fellow students. In 1990-JUN, at a rally of teenagers in Dallas TX, over 20,000 attendees were challenged to organize prayer sessions at their schools, following the Burleson example. Some 45,000 students at 1,200 schools in 4 states did just that on 1990-SEP-12 at 07:00 hours. The movement went national one year later.
Last year there were over 1 million participants across the US and 6 continents.
