Worship through Service-AGAPE

AGAPE--a Greek word which translates in to English as LOVE. Many have thought that this word represents divine, unconditional, self-sacrificing, active, volitional, and thoughtful love.

I love to give gifts of AGAPE and frequently do so while work camping. Select candy or small gifts and pair them with a appropriate bible verse (print on card stock and attach)
Here are a couple of my ideas...feel free to use them yourself when you have a chance

Bookmarks, silly bandz,beaded bracelets, foam shapes are well received and are inexpensive "gifts"

PEANUT M&M-Jesus is NUTS about you and SO am I
SMARTIES-paired with a Proverb on WISDOM
CRUNCH BAR-pair with a bible verse to "Call on Jesus, he cares for you"
Bubble Gum-"don't blow it" paired with a Proverb on holding your tongue
BUTTERFINGERS-pair with bible verse to suggest working carefully
SUNSCREEN-Let the SON in...
CANDY HEARTS-Love Verses
Joshua 4:6 rocks (read chapter)Select a smooth stone and write Joshua 4:6 on the stone. tell the story and pass out the rocks as a keepsake

For graduating seniors I decorate pillow cases with their name, a bible verse (Jeremiah 29:11 is a good one) and have other campers sign them (use permanent markers in assorted colors)

I am hand made cards, decorated with stamps and stickers and colored markers to use as Caring Cards for each camper. These will be available to every girl in our room. I am also taking a basket of "personal care" items (soap, shampoo, etc.) in case anyone forgot something
