Lutheran Church in the Foothills wants every child to have the supplies they need for a successful school year. The church is in its final week of collecting supplies and putting together backpacks for Lutheran World Relief. The backpacks will be distributed to children in need around the world.
Donations are appreciated. Supplies needed include 70-page spiral notebooks, pencil sharpeners, crayons (boxes of 16 or 24) and rulers (30 cm). The items can be dropped off at the church.
A night of family fun, on the lawn and under the stars, is coming up at the end of the month. All are invited to watch “Minions: The Rise of Gru,” 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. Refreshments and popcorn will be served.
This Sunday, Pastor Chuck Bunnell will lead worship in person and online beginning at 10 a.m. During the weekly worship service, elementary schoolchildren are invited to join a fun-filled hour of learning at Sunday school. The children meet in the sanctuary for a special children’s message with the pastor, then head to class for games and study. LCIF uses the “Simply Loved” program for Sunday school. “Simply Loved” offers a foundational Jesus-centered journey through God’s story of love.
Bunnell would also like to remind 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.
