Be careful what you think, because your
thoughts run your life. -Proverbs 4:23
COMBINED CHAPEL – WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2025, AT 9:00 A.M. – Our elementary and secondary students will be observing “See You at the Pole.” If the weather is permissible, this service will be conducted outside around the flag pole. If not, we will have the service in the sanctuary. Chapel attire is required. No shorts, t-shirts, or jeans on this day. Parents are welcome to attend.
SEE YOU AT THE POLE, the global day of student-led prayer, began in 1990 as a grassroots movement with ten students praying at their school. Over thirty years later, millions pray on their campuses on the fourth Wednesday in September.
SEE YOU AT THE POLE is simply a prayer rally where students meet at the school flagpole to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. See You at the Pole is a student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led event.
CHESS CLUB: Some of our secondary students are interested in starting a chess club. If anyone is interested in being a chess advisor, after school, please contact the school office.
