April 9, 2020: Servant Leadership with Virginia Saldanha

Preaching for Holy Thursday, Virginia Saldanha offers a reflection on responding to God's call to serve God's people:

"Jesus handed his disciples a challenging servanthood. It involves humility in service and sacrifice even to the extent of breaking one’s body and shedding one’s blood. Holy Thursday places before us the challenges involved in following Jesus’ model of service among the People of God."
