Agape on
an Emmaus Walk are the items and letters given to pilgrims and
team members to surround them in Love doing the walk. This can
be divided into three parts: the small items given during the
walk and placed on the dining table or beds, the personal letters
expressing agape love to them, and the snacks provided for them
during the walk.
|
| |
|
These are
the small items for everyone which usually include a Bible verse
or saying designed to encourage the pilgrim or team member. They
may be placed on the beds or at individual dining settings. These
items are presented by churches, reunion groups, or individuals.
Churches and reunion groups may have the name of the sender on
the agape; however, individuals should give their agape anonymously,
in love. The number of items needed for each type of item is given
at the left. This is a slight change from the past, which is caused
by the differences in sleeping and dining arrangements during
walks.

Letters
are usually collected by the sponsor and express feelings for
the person on the walk. These letters should be placed in an envelope
no larger than a standard business envelope. These letters should
have the recipients complete name on the envelope and of course,
should be signed by the sender. If you cannot give the letter
to the sponsor please place no information on the envelope except
the name and get it to the team. Gifts for individuals are entirely
inappropriate and should not be delivered to the team. Gifts for
individuals should be given to new members of the community at
an appropriate time after the walk is completed.

Snack agape
are the drinks and snacks provided for use in the conference room
and during breaks. Many items are hand made. Anyone is welcome
to bring this agape to the walk; however, many times team members
provide much of these items.
|
|
The
object of the Agape gifts is to surround the pilgrims and team in
love during the entire 72 hours. Remember “Christ is counting
on You.” |
