Holy Week is almost here. The schedule is printed in the E-news. I hope to see a whole lot of you this week but especially on the great three days (Triduum) of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil.

I know that some of you are very uncomfortable with foot washing at the Maundy Thursday service. So no one has to get their feet washed. Remember our saying, “All may, None must, Some should.” If foot washing is not for you, I very much encourage you to still attend the agape meal beforehand and then head into the church. The agape meal is a time of fellowship and a time of hearing scripture read aloud in an unfamiliar setting during a meal. Please sign up a head of time so preparations can be made for a wonderful meal celebrating the last supper of Jesus with his disciples and the giving by Jesus of a new commandment.

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another"
