Maundy Thursday service at church, should I go?

Tonight we have a Maundy Thursday service at our church. It's always been part of the Easter celebration in our denomination, Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.  It's another one of those services that blurs into the events of Holy Week.

In the Biblical account, today is the celebration of when Jesus had the Last Supper with the disciples.

For me, it's so easy to be distracted from the real significance of what this all means for today and for the future, for me and for everybody else. 

• Are these celebrations on the Christian church calendar just antiquated habits from the past? 
• Are they outdated? 
• Have they lost their meaning?
• How could they be made more relevant?
