Lutheran Church in the Foothills will hold a blood drive in its Fellowship Hall on Aug. 18 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For an appointment, please visit redcrossblood.org.

This coming Sunday, LCIF welcomes guest pastor Keegan Chin-Cheleden who will preach from Colossians 3:1-11. The Sunday service begins at 10 a.m. in person and online on the church’s YouTube channel. Children’s church is offered every Sunday. Families should meet in the sanctuary. Following the children’s sermon, the kids head to the Youth Room for crafts and games.

LCIF reminds the community of activities that are open to all this summer: Bible study groups, knitting, quilting, opportunities to learn live-streaming media production and more! A movie night for families is planned for Sept. 30. All are welcome!

LCIF Pastor Chuck Bunnell reminds the community that he is available to consult with anyone interested in baptism, confirmation or membership. He is also available for visitation. Anyone with a loved one wanting a pastoral visit at their home or in the hospital should contact the church.

For more information or to request/offer help, email office@lcifoothills.org or call (818) 790-1951. 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 July, 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 July 31. 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.
