Plan

Someone needs to plan the event. Having a pre-pole planning meeting is a great way to get everyone together to talk about what you will do during SYATP. Many groups sing worship songs, read Scripture, and give testimonies while forming a big circle, then break into groups of three to five students to pray. This planning guide will help you plan how you will spend the time at your flagpole on the fourth Wednesday in September.

A pre-pole rally is an excellent way to both promote and plan
See You at the Pole™. Student groups, individual churches, or a group of local churches can host a rally. Some suggestions for a rally:
  • Use it as a final planning event before See You at the Pole™. A pre-pole rally is a great time for students to meet with other students from their campus to pray for the event and to go over the pre-pole checklist. This will help students make final preparations for SYATP.
  • Hold the rally sometime in early September. Some groups have found the Sunday night before SYATP to be a convenient and effective time to hold a rally.
  • Things to include in a rally: testimonies from previous SYATP events, SYATP promo video, speakers, worship band, etc.
