Maundy Thursday is the day when Christians remember Jesus’ servant leadership — and the new commandment “that you love one another as I have loved you.”
There are many ways that congregations reflect that love — through footwashing, a shared meal, song and other acts of service. What is your favorite part of this holy day?
