2) ADVOCACY in your church/workplace

Don't be too overwhelmed - we're in this together! Start by asking God to open your eyes. Discuss, pray, study, ask questions, go places you haven't gone before.
Organize a Study Group to learn about our global community (Or join ours! Right now we're looking into the Beatitudes)
Speak at your workplace or church about community needs. Help people connect with opportunities! See link list above for some ideas.
Organize a food or clothing drive through your workplace or church.
Organize a monthly "Essentials" drive. (E.g.: Jan is toothpaste month! Necessities are socks, shampoo, baby food, razors, toothbrushes, deoderant, blankets, etc.)
Make your church or workplace a drop-off depot. E.g.: bin to collect grocery bags (much needed @ food bank).
Email routesixfour@gmail.com for more ideas or if you'd like help as an advocate.

LOVE

Agapē (Gk. αγάπη ), is one of several Greek words meaning love. ... Many have thought that this word represents divine, unconditional, self-sacrificing, active, volitional, thoughtful love. …The term was used by the early Christians to refer to the special love for God and God's love for humanity, as well as the self-sacrificing love they believed all should have for each other. Agape …has been defined as an intentional response to promote well-being when responding to that which has generated ill-being (Thomas Jay Oord). For a broader definition, see www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agape
