Washing the Feet of Those We Serve

As we enter Holy Week in the Christian faith, I thought I would point out this article from last Sunday's Washington Post. Just as Jesus washed the feet of his disciples in John 13.1-17, a group from a Methodist Church in the Washington, D.C. area have picked up the practice of washing the feet of the homeless who come to their shelter.

The practice is becoming more popular all across the country these days. And it makes me wonder: What sense of community would be built within our churches and organizations if we humbled ourselves to wash the feet of those we worship and work with each day?
