LCIF News

Lutheran Church in the Foothills invites everyone to enjoy a hearty soup supper each Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. in the church’s Fellowship Hall during the season of Lent. Pastor Chuck Bunnell said, “We are all ‘longing for belonging’ these days, and our Lenten Soup Suppers are a great way to meet new people and catch-up with folks you know. Your love, concern and attention could be exactly what someone needs on a Wednesday evening.

Come for the soup, stay for the conversation and a short and meaningful worship.”

Sunday services are held at 10 a.m., in person and online. Children’s church is offered each Sunday.

LCIF continues its ongoing food drive to help feed the hungry. Canned goods can be dropped off during church services or anytime during the week at the church office.

The church is located at 1700 Foothill Blvd. in La Cañada Flintridge. Office hours are 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Walk and Word

In March, Walk and Word participants will meet in the parking lot of Deukmejian Wilderness Park, 3429 Markridge Road in La Crescenta/Glendale at 8 a.m. on March 19 and 26. Participants will walk for the first hour and then gather to read a selection of Scripture. About a half hour will be spent journaling about what was read and then there will be conversation, sharing thoughts.

Participants are asked to bring something to write with, anything wanted to eat or drink, and a chair to use for the writing part of the morning. Because people will be outdoors and social distancing will be practiced, masks will be optional.

Those with questions can email Jeanne at jnlavieri@earthlink.net.

All are welcome. If the hike is too strenuous, there are level paths at the park. There are ramps from the parking lot to the field where the group gathers after the hike.
