See You After the Pole - Wed. Sept. 24 8p
We are going to hang out and maybe share some stories about being at the flagpoles at our school. We will probably be doing a bonfire some place.
There will be no RISE Discipleship that night!
We will conclude our evening by 10pm

See You At The Pole! 2008 Go Pray for Your School!
SYTAP happens at every school around the country on the same day. All students have the opportunity to gather at their flagpoles before classes begin on that day and pray with each other and all the other students around the world.
That Day is Wednesday September 24
The Basics - See You at the Pole™ is a student-initiated, student organized, and student-led event. That means this is all about students meeting at their school flagpole to pray—for their school, friends teachers, government, and their nation. See You at the Pole™ is not a demonstration, political rally, nor a stand for or against anything. See You at the Pole™ is scheduled annually on the fourth Wednesday in September, which is September 24 in 2008. The suggested starting time is 7 a.m. If that doesn't work for your school, choose a time that will work for your school, but let everyone at your school know!

Yes We Can! Food Drive for Kokomo Rescue Mission Sunday, Sept. 14
This has been a blast for the past couple of years. This year for a change we are going to have two teams from RISE participating. Joe and PJ will be the drivers and we are looking to fill 6 spots on each team. The only kind of competition the Bible really encourages is outdoing one another in good works. So let's see what kind of good we can do!
Get to Courtland by 1pm!
RISE will cover your food cost.
