Act's-N-Action
Agape is starting a summer program called Act’s N Action beginning the first Saturday in June.
This program functions like Side-walk Sunday School but also gives the children food to take home and eat, as well as a light lunch on Saturday.
Beginning June 4, we have five churches who have stepped up and adopted a particular weekend to minister to our children in our community. We will be in one area of town each Saturday through August 13th.
Our churches are:
- First Baptist of B’ville
- Bartlesville First Assembly
- Adams Blvd. Church of Christ
- Life Church of Bartlesville and Abundant Life Church.
Donations

United Linen
Thanks to United Linen and Mat Saddoris, we now have a van to minister and carry the food out to each location. This first year, the van is white, but our goal is to put a stage on it and paint it “lime green”. So when we go out to the neighborhoods, they will know our van immediately.
Lyons Foundation
New Agape' car to do all the errands, small food pickups and Agape' related duties. THANK YOU LYONS FOUNDATION!! 
ConocoPhillips Employees and Retiree's
ConocoPhillips firmly believes in striving to improve the well-being of the communities in which our employees live and work. To that end, we provide programs that encourage and support employee involvement in local non-profit organizations.
We are pleased to inform you that, effective January 1, 2010, we are expanding our employee giving programs, providing employees and retirees more opportunities to give back to their communities.
* Matching Gift
Our Matching Gift program will expand to match employee gifts to eligible 501 © 3 organizations dollar-for-dollar, up to $15,000, and retiree gifts dollar-for-dollar, up to $7,500 annually. Previously, the program matched gifts to accredited educational institutions only.
*Employee Volunteer Grants “Dollar for Hours”
ConocoPhillips will donate $500 for every 20 hours an employee or retiree volunteers with an eligible 501 © 3 non-profit organization. Additionally, teams of four or more employees or retirees may apply for a team grant of $1,000 to an eligible organization.
**PLEASE CONTACT CONOCOPHILLIPS FOR THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK FOR THE ABOVE ITEMS.**
Not only will this new program help us with volunteers, but you can work towards getting us money as well. Please make sure you keep track of your time yourself but we are keeping track of COP volunteers as well. When you volunteer at Agape’ just make sure you sign-in and put COP or COP retiree and we will put you on our records as well, and keep track of your hours, you just have to make sure you sign-in at the Volunteer Sign–In Board by the kitchen door.
THANK YOU ConocoPhillips!!!
