LCIF News

Pastor Chuck Bunnell is organizing a confirmation class for students in grades six-12. Families who are interested in the upcoming confirmation class should contact the church office.

LCIF reminds the community of an upcoming night of family fun, on the lawn and under the stars. All are invited to watch “Minions: The Rise of Gru” on Friday, Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. Families are encouraged to bring blankets or lawn chairs for the free screening on the front lawn of the church. Sno cones, popcorn and other refreshments will be served.

On Sunday, Pastor Bunnell will lead worship in person and online beginning at 10 a.m. During the weekly worship service, elementary school children are invited to join a fun-filled hour of learning at Sunday school. Children join their parents in the sanctuary for the beginning of the worship service. After a children’s message with the pastor, they move to a special class just for kids. The children’s program includes songs, videos, crafts, and games.

Visit lcifoothills.org for event details, including small group gatherings and opportunities to serve. 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 September, 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 Sept. 25. 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.
