Leader: Susannah Youdan (ably assisted in parts by her son Jamie)
Reading: John 13 “Jesus washes the Disciples feet”
If you walk on a beach with bare feet you get sand between your toes, so it was in Jesus time they wore sandals or went barefoot and so servants (the lowest of the low) washed their feet on arrival at their destination. But on this occasion Jesus, their Master, took the place of a servant and washed their feet.
Susannah sang a beautiful solo
“Show us how to serve, fill us with love”
we are called to serve, to love others, to do God’s will.
We can serve in church by lending a hand when needed.
We can pray for others.
Sharing the Good News is serving.
God has prepared us to serve where it matters – Are you ready to serve him, and others ??
Thanks to Tom Lomas for coming to play the organ (and piano)
