This Week at LCIF

All are invited to Lutheran Church in the Foothills for the Second Sunday of Advent on Dec. 8. Education hour for all ages is at 9 a.m. then family worship time begins at 10 a.m. Pastor Scott Peterson will lead the service with a sermon titled “2 Part Harmony.” Then stay for coffee, food and great conversation. All are welcome!

There will be a family movie night on Wednesday, Dec. 11 at 6 p.m. of “Home Alone.”

Advent services will be held Sundays during December at 10 a.m. On Dec. 15, the Anthem Chorale will lead worship with its annual Carols and Anthems service. The Chorale’s famous desserts will be available in the Fellowship Hall following the event. It’s always a fun and tasty way to get ready for Christmas!

The annual candlelight service will be at 7 p.m. on Christmas Eve – it’s a good way to get ready for Christmas Day and all are welcome.

Walk and Word

Spend time Sunday mornings discovering Scripture while hiking Deukmejian Park. Participants meet at 8 a.m. at the parking lot (3429 Markridge Road, La Crescenta) on all but the first Sunday of each month. There will be no meeting on Sunday.

Hike for an hour, then journal and share for an hour about a selection of Scripture. All are invited who feel drawn to this alternative spiritual activity under the guidance of CV United Methodist Church lay minister Jeanne Lavieri.

For those interested but unable to hike, several picnic tables with wheelchair access are available.

For more information, contact Lavieri at (818) 383-3137 or email jnlavieri@earthlink.net.

Drive-thru Nativity

Community Christian Church of the Foothills will offer the opportunity to step back in time and experience the first Christmas via its drive-thru nativity.  Guests will drive past various scenes of the nativity story with actors portraying Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, the angel and the wise men. At the end of the drive, free coffee, hot chocolate and cookies are available to those who wish to stop by the church’s Coffee House.

This is the 19th year of Community Christian Church offering this free “gift to the community.”

The drive-thru nativity will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights, Dec. 13 and Dec. 14 at Community Christian Church of the Foothills, 10193 Tujunga Canyon Blvd, Tujunga, just north of Foothill Boulevard and next to the post office.
