Serving Jesus (and everyone else)

We were so busy that I have zero photos from tonight! But we sure did pack a lot in.

Everyone was "served" cupcakes and drinks on silver platters and one lucky person even got his feet washed tonight!!  This year we will focus on serving and the many aspects of serving.

We looked at how we should serve - wholeheartedly.

How to serve others - as if you are serving the Lord.

Are we always doing dishes, babysitting or cleaning wholeheartedly or as if we are serving the Lord? Probably many of us aren't, but we should keep trying.

We used the example of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples at the last supper and what that really teaches us. Even when Jesus knew this was the last time he would be with friends before his death he chose to SERVE them, to LOVE them, to be an EXAMPLE of how he wanted them to serve.  We can learn a lot from the KING of Kings washing dirty, smelly feet.

Here is a great recap video:
