I’m always a little on edge when I spot visitors at church, especially
truly new people who are checking out our congregation for the first or
second time.
Tonight is the one service of the year in which many churches practice
footwashing. Others don’t do it at all, despite the fact that after
washing Peter's feet Jesus says, "You also ought to wash one another's feet."
