Teens from all around Charlotte County gathered Wednesday evening in the parking lot of Murdock Baptist Church for the See You at the Pole Rally, where they were entertained by Four a Season, a Christian rock band from Fort Myers. The event was in conjunction with the 22nd annual nationwide See You at the Pole event, where young people from middle schools, high schools, colleges and universities gather early in the morning to form circles of prayer. The rally was a follow-up for the local teens with a free meal, entertainment and a night of worship, hosted by Young Life of Charlotte County, a nondenominational Christian ministry for local adolescents and Murdock Baptist Church.
