New Year - Happy or Not

[missourimary]

I've never been to an Apostolic communion service that didn't include footwashing. I was taught (years ago) that footwashing was a sign of cleansing, getting the "dust" off since baptism. It was also taught that if you didn't participate, you were "none of his." Far cry from the newer pastor's idea that communion shouldn't be served because it isn't safe... if you eat "unworthily" you may die! (I'm not there anymore, BTW.)

I think these are both extremes, but I still miss footwashing... and communion.
