A special service will be held this Sunday to remember all lives lost during the pandemic because so many people were unable to gather for memorials during the pandemic, said Pastor Bunnell. All are welcome to submit names of their departed to the church’s office and those loved ones will be memorialized during Sunday worship.

Lutheran Church in the Foothills continues its Wednesday evening Lenten services at 7 p.m. while it prepares for festivities surrounding Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. Looking ahead to Easter, the church has planned a morning of fun activities leading up to the 10 a.m. worship service. Children can enjoy a bunny petting zoo, egg hunt, crafts and games. Brunch will also be served. All are welcome.

Bible school has resumed for children ages 5-10. Families should meet in the sanctuary at 10 a.m. After the children’s sermon, the kids head off to the youth room for a Bible lesson and fun times.

Sunday services with Pastor Bunnell begin at 10 a.m. in-person and also live streamed on the church’s YouTube channel. The services can be viewed anytime on LCIF’s website.

Wednesday evening services include a soup-to-go meal. Attendees will receive homemade soup, rolls and cookies to be eaten at home.

Also, a reminder that Pastor Bunnell’s lecture series continues on Sunday mornings from 9 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. in the church’s conference room. No prior knowledge of the Bible is necessary.

Walk and Word

In April, 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 April 10, 17 & 24. They 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.
