Meet you at the Pole (Boiling Springs)

Chick-fil-A drive-thru at Westgate, to gather around the flag pole for a special time of prayer.  This will be a time to pray together, not only for our country, but our children, friends, churches, and other concerns. Chick-fil-A would also like to offer all Homeschooled families and anyone who would like to come out for a  special time of prayer, a breakfast combo (chicken biscuit, hash browns, and small drink) for only $2.59. We hope to see you at the pole!!) It's at 7:15 AM on Sept.  24, 2008.
