Agape is back and needs your help! We need volunteers to prepare pasta, meatloaves, taco beef and cakes in the comfort of your own home. This is a great way to involve your children who are unable to go to Agape on Wednesdays. The menu varies and your commitment would be once every eight weeks. This is an easy way to help our neighbors in Elizabeth to enjoy a healthy meal.

AGAPE LOCAL NEEDS REUSABLE BAGS:
Bags may be dropped off outside the double doors of the Parish House. If you prefer, monetary donations will also be accepted, and appreciated. You may donate on the “Give” page on our website, through Zelle, or send a check to our Comptroller, Tina Barulli, labelled “Food Boxes” in the memo space. Thank you for helping us to help our neighbors!
Matthew 25:35-40
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ |
Invite, Grow, Serve
As Christians we are moved to serve in love those in our community both near and far. We are very active in hands-on mission work locally and internationally. We run the Agape Community Kitchen in Elizabeth, serving dinner to a few hundred guests each week. Agape, which opened in 2000, offers leadership and service opportunities to our youth and adults. Our annual Youth Rebuilding Hope mission trips - attended by our high school students and a group of supporting adults - respond to disaster assistance needs across our country. Internationally, we have partnered with a congregation in Livingstone, Zambia. We support our fellow Christians in Zambia through prayer, through visits to help us better understand and support each other and through fundraisers to assist the congregation with on going projects.
