This is going to be a fun week!

We are talking about different aspects and people that are important in the final days of Jesus' life. Today we talked about Jesus washing his disciples feet. Why did he do that? Do you think he was excited to do it? Isn't that a yucky job?

We washed each others feet. As we did we talked about the difference between our feet, which are usually protected by shoes and socks, and the disciples feet, which were probably calloused and dirty.

8yr, "Did Jesus wash Judas' feet too? I wouldn't want to do that."

We talked about serving.

Maudy means "mandate" or "command." Read John 13:34-35. Jesus commanded us to love each other. And then he showed us what that looked like by serving the disciples.

How can we serve each other?

5yr, "Help with laundry. Make a bed."

11yr, "Can we serve mom and dad too?"

Absolutely!

For the rest of this week, we are secretly serving each other. Every time someone does something for another person, they can secretly let me know. I will be keeping a tally. We are going to see how many times we can serve each other!
