Lutheran Church in the Foothills reminds the community of its current classes open to all. They include confirmation class, which meets at 4 p.m. each Sunday in the church’s conference room.

Knit Together meets each Wednesday at 1 p.m. in the conference room. Learn how to knit or work on a project in the company of others.

Quilters meets on Saturdays at 9 a.m. in the LCIF quilting room. Last year, LCIF’s quilting group hand-stitched more than 35 quilts, which were distributed through Lutheran World Relief. The quilts are used as bedding, tents or floor coverings. The quilting group welcomes anyone who can tie a knot and use scissors.

LCIF also offers a book club and a weekly meetup for Bible study.

Pastor Rick Hall also reminds the community that Sunday school is available to young children during LCIF’s 10 a.m. worship service. Families should meet in the sanctuary. Following the children’s sermon, kids head to the Youth Room for Bible study, games and crafts.

Walk and Word

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 28. 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.
