So just a few quick announcements before I get to the meat of this post.
- October 15th we'll be having our youth night out. We'll be going to the corn maze between Sioux Falls and Canton. It will be $5 per student if we have 20+ participants.
- Wednesday October 19th we will be joining other churches in the area at Falls Church for a district STL rally. We will be leaving the church at 6:05pm.
Ok so let's get to it! Tomorrow September 28th is the national See You At The Pole rally. Students are encouraged and given the opportunity to meet at their flagpoles one hour before school starts to pray for their school and country.
But I encourage you students, not let it stop there, and you parents to not allow it to stop there either. We talk a lot about how vital prayer is in our relationship with God at Revive. I challenge you to not make this a once a year thing.
Philippians 4:6 says "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
To many times we try and take the problems of our schools, our city, our state, or our country on our own shoulders. Nothing is impossible if we humble ourselves and lay our requests down to God. So I encourage you to pray with your students. Show them to pray for their friends, their school, and their world around them!
