Lutheran Church in the Foothills invites the community to attend its Ash Wednesday service on Feb. 14 at 7 p.m.
Lent is a 40-day period during which Christians remember the events leading up to and including the death of Jesus Christ. Lent is a time of reflection and of asking for forgiveness. Ultimately, it is a preparation to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection at the feast of Easter.
This year’s Ash Wednesday worship is a joint service between Mt. Olive Lutheran Church in La Crescenta and LCIF in La Cañada Flintridge. It will take place at the LCIF sanctuary. LCIF will have Lenten worship each Wednesday evening through March 20. With the exception of Ash Wednesday, all Lenten services include a soup supper at 6 p.m. in the church’s Fellowship Hall.
This Sunday, Feb. 11, during regular 10 a.m. worship with Pastor Rick Hall, LCIF will hold its yearly tradition, the “Souper Bowl of Caring.” Put your money in a soup pot for the team you think will win, and all the money goes to charity. It’s a way to celebrate the big game and support your favorite team — all while helping to alleviate hunger and poverty in our communities. The money collected will be forwarded to Lutheran Social Services of Southern California.
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.
