Volume 38, Issue 4
April 2014
Inside this issue:
Foot-washing is a special, optional feature of the Maundy Thursday service. It exists in many
churches, though many people aren’t aware of that. It is practiced, though infrequently, in
eastern Orthodox churches, Anglican churches, Roman Catholic churches, and Protestant denominations.
In John’s gospel, Jesus washed His disciples’ feet during the Last Supper, but before the part
that has become our Communion service. So foot-washing is appropriate for the Maundy
Thursday Service and will be a part of the service at Elim this year. We will also observe the
Lord’s Supper and remember what Jesus really did for us.
Then be ready for the Resurrection Sunday worship as we celebrate the risen Savior and His
victory over death. Praise be to God!!!
