BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Sept. 27, 2011) See You at the Pole 2011 "Converge," the Annual Global Day of Student Prayer, is tomorrow, September 28. Millions of teenagers across the world are inviting their classmates to gather around their school's flagpole for a time of prayer for the 21st Annual See You at the Pole.

Before school, students will join together at their school's flagpole in prayer for their friends, school, city, state and nation.

"The overall message of this passage is that the Lord will be there with us when we genuinely seek unity," said First Priority Greater Birmingham President Greg Davis. "What a great lesson for our students to learn this month. When we as God's people join together for the purpose of unity, it draws His presence and blessing."

What started out as a community-wide art project of painting 20 fiberglass mules soon turned into more of a demand for the brightly-decorated creatures than the Walker County Arts Alliance had anticipated.

The arts council decided to cap the number of mules at 50 after quickly obtaining sponsorships for 40 of the mules, and thus the 50-Mule Team Public Art Project began, said Beth Sargent with the WCAA. Local companies, schools and individuals are paying to sponsor the painting of the mules and several of the mules are already on display throughout Walker County.  Once each mule is completed, the arts council plans to have an interactive map posted on their website to show visitors where each colorful creature is located.

Much like the annual Mule Day in Marion County, this local art project pays homage to the hard-working animals who labored on farms and mines for decades, helping Alabamians make a living from the land.
