AGAPE TIPS

With two walks right around the corner, it's a good idea to start thinking about AGAPE. There are many ways to share Agape with other Pilgrims.

Your biggest act of Agape is your faithful prayers - sign up the 72 Hour Prayer Vigil at monthly Gatherings or right here online at http://www.albemarleemmaus.org/ on the Albemarle Emmaus Community Prayer Vigil pages. Also, your attendance at Candlelight, Mananitas and Closing are acts of Agape love.

You might be called by a Head Cha on a walk to help with Agape Feasts, snack Bags, entertainment, or other behind the scene activities. Those are forms of Agape Service.

Another form of Agape love is by providing all the "stuff" it takes to put on a weekend.

Our community currently uses 550 decorated placemats each walk weekend - that's 2750 per year just for the Emmaus Walks (plus another 630 each Chrysalis Flight). Placemat patterns are available at http://www.albemarleemmaus.org/agape/pmats.html with blank place mats available from our Emmaus Community Agape Coordinators Joy Denton (252-482-7105) and Mandy Morgan (252-482-3618).

Warm fuzzies clothespins, First Stones, Joy Flags Lovable Button felt flower backs, cloth agape bags, wooden crosses and lanyards are needed for each walk. Providing any or all of these items is an act of Agape Love. These are things that can be prepared and given to the Emmaus Community Agape Coordinators at Gatherings throughout the year. We use 42 of each item for each walk.

Remember the Agape Bags you received on your walk? Could anyone forget? You are encouraged to send Agape to Pilgrims each walk. The names of Team and Pilgrims are provided in the monthly newsletters just prior to each walk and can be found online at http://www.albemarleemmaus.org/

Handwritten letters are best, but any Agape that is sent needs to be ALPHABETIZED BY LAST NAME. Each weekend more than 10,000 pieces of Agape are delivered - WOW!

Feb. 2004 Albemarle Emmaus Newsletter Page 2 of 4

Remember the following logistics when sending Aqape:

1) First and last name need to be on the envelope - not your name, not nicknames, etc.

2) Separate personal from general Agape - put a "P" in the right hand corner of personal letters or separate them in bags or bundles and make sure they are clearly labeled.

3) Team and Pilgrim agape needs to be separated and properly labeled.

4) Pilgrims receive personal letters in their cloth bags on Friday, and then receive additional agape Friday and Saturday nights. Team members receive agape in their Cloth Bags on Friday and then Saturday night. Please do not include "Friday" or Saturday" as part of the Agape label. If you want it given at a particular time include it in a bag labeled that way.

5) NO GIFTS - Please. Nothing bigger than 4-1/2 X 6 inches will be given to a Pilgrim unless there is one for every Pilgrim. Only letter sized envelopes will fit in the cloth Agape bags. Wrapped gifts and Gift bags will be given back to sponsors at Send - off if any are brought. Please save any gifts for the Pilgrims for their 4th day.
