About 100 people attended the Launch Sunday service at La Cañada Congregational Church, sponsored by the Christian education board, on Sept. 7. The 90 degree-plus temperatures didn’t faze guests from enjoying the outdoor carnival games and dance music from the jukebox. In addition, there was bingo, face painting, hands on creations for kids and “mad scientist” demos.

“LCC mad scientist” John Blume shot off bottle rockets in the parking lot, soaking himself and kids with jet-propelled “rocket fuel” (water).

The church service was led by Senior Pastor Skip Lindeman accompanied by the full Chancel Choir (Joe Klice, organist, Dr. Harold Dougherty, director). Sunday school, taught by teachers Christie Sloyer and Christine Nunn, kept everyone busy and built on the church’s successful “launch.”

All are invited to La Cañada Congregational Church service (formerly Church of the Lighted Window) every Sunday at 10 a.m. Sunday school takes place upstairs at 10 a.m.

La Cañada Congregational Church is located 1200 Foothill Blvd. in La Cañada Flintridge.
