At Trinity we\u00a0observe a Communion service on Maundy Thursday in memory of Jesus\u2019 Last Supper with His disciples. Second, Jesus washed the disciples\u2019 feet as an act of humility and service, thereby setting an example that we should love and serve one another in humility (<a class=\"rtBibleRef\" href=\"http:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/John%2013.3-17\" target=\"_blank\" data-reference=\"John 13.3-17\" data-version=\"esv\" data-purpose=\"bible-reference\">John 13:3-17<\/a>).
