Agape Meal
Set up is important for the Agape Meal. The room should be comfortable and may be lit with candles for ambience. The table and chairs in a "U" or "horseshoe" shape - set for dinner - so that all are facing each other. Distribute the Gospel and Epistle readings in written form for everybody in advance. The service begins with a call to attention such as "The Lord be with you" (assuming people have arrived and are engaged in casual conversation)
One person with a jug of warm water and bowl, another with a towel pass around the group and pour water over each person's hands saying, "This is a reminder of Jesus' love and servant hood" and then to each person says, "In Jesus' name, we welcome you to this Agape Meal." The persons with the jug and the towel have their hands washed last of all.
