My concern with the act of footwashing is, if we don't understand the concept behind it, which is continued servanthood, once the yearly experience is over, we may forget the implied message.

In my opinion, the true meaning of footwashing is not taught enough, but that's just been my experience.

You have a point, it shouldn't be just once a year "servant hood" & the real reason behind foot washing is always not conveyed, or not conveyed properly enough.
