"Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet.  I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.  Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him."
- Jesus John 13:14
"...so in Christ, we, though many. form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.  We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us..."
-Paul Romans 12:5-6

We are commanded to be using our gifts, abilities and talents to serve God, the church and the world.
 Jesus made it clear to the disciples and to us that if He serves, then we should too.
