Re Communion, Jesus said ,"As oft as you do this..." In other words, continue...I don't see this with Foot Washing, but I am NOT contentious. If it can be proven that it is a rite set forth by the Master, great...I will comply.

Then what do you think Jesus meant when he said "this OUGHT you to do"?
To me if Jesus tells me I ought (should) do something, I would think I should do it.
But that is just me.
