Followers of Jesus serve others

For those of you in Year R to Year 3 you are welcome to join us in person at church - sign up for one of our Children’s Ministry Tickets.

This morning we continued our series on how we learn to ‘Think and Live like Jesus’ today we are learning about how followers of Jesus are people who look to serve others like Jesus did - particularly doing the sorts of tasks that most people don’t want to do!

Here is a video of the story we talked about today - Jesus washes his followers feet and asks them to do the same for others. This doesn’t mean that we literally need to wash the feet of our fellow humans - most of us have rather clean feet - rather it means serving others and doing the jobs no one wants to do - can you think of what that might be.

Dan sang this for us on Sunday - what a fabulous worship song about Jesus’ love!
