1. According to the Greeting Card industry, it's Mother's Day this Sunday. Thank God for Moms! But PRAISE God for the blessing of His Holy Spirit being poured out upon His entire church – On this Pentecost Sunday we will celebrate becoming a kingdom of priestly prophets! We will also continue our message from John 6 which describes a blessing that God sent from heaven. This “gift” nourished the Old Testament church in part, but the true gift that God sends is that which spiritually animates all our life (it's all consuming)! Come hear what God has sent to us, and may you be drawn to Him through our series: "Meeting the Savior."
- This Sunday, our children's choir will sing the Lord's Prayer, and the Communion Choir will sing, “Eye Hath Not Seen.” (Choir members please arrive early)
- Communion Presbyterian Church meets @ 9:45AM and our meeting location is 311 W. Yale Loop, Irvine, Ca. 92604
- To become acquainted with our order of worship, please visit this link this weekend:(http://www.communionpres.org/service.html)
- After the service this Sunday, a Sunday School time is offered for children and adults.
- Please invite a friend to meet the Savior!

2. Join a GIFT Group and Grow In Faith Together! The Monday Night RAW study meets in Fullerton at 7:30PM, featuring an evening complete with singing, prayer and a study from the book of Revelation. The Tuesday morning prayer breakfast meets at 7AM at an eatery in East Orange (Jamboree & Chapman). This Tuesday Night @ 6:45PM, the congregation is welcomed to attend our Session meeting at the home of the pastor. The Wednesday night Candlelight Study meets in Woodbridge @ 7PM for a repeat of the book of Revelation study. NEXT Saturday, a volunteer event for Camp Alandale is scheduled.

4.A. Thank You to midweek study hosts! We are grateful for their weekly hospitality! We are now at the “mid-way” point of our Bible study through the book of Revelation. Be sure to get involved at one of our weekly home fellowships and begin to see the inspiration behind this important New Testament book!
4.B. Compres Preaching (and music) On-line... We’ve been posting our “Meeting the Savior” series online! So far, the most popular message accessed from our site is: John, Chapter 9: A Man, Born Blind (listen to it here: http://www.sermoncloud.com/compres/john-chapter-9-a-man-born-blind) Listen, and invite your friends to listen to the messages of our church at the following site:http://www.sermoncloud.com/Compres/

4.D. Are you "social?"
There are many sites on the web connecting people. If you would like to be a part of a "safe" community of individuals keeping in touch, join RevK at www.MyChurch.org. It is a very scaled down version of some of the popular online networks, but it provides features that are geared for sharing basic information. Join the site and our church: Communion Presbyterian Church, Irvine, 92604 (thanks to those who have!!)
4.E. The Book of Revelation Study
Both of our mid-week studies have begun a verse by verse survey of the book of Revelation. This book, which has long been a source of comfort for the persecuted church, has also become a ripe book utilized to promote "end-times" speculation. Come study this book with us and draw your own conclusions!
4.F. What is a Classical Christian Academy?
>>> A number of North Orange County families are seeking to establish a school for children of early primary age that will be modeled after the Trivium learning method. This school, scheduled to open the Fall of '09 will be part time home instruction and classroom instruction. If you know of any families in the NOC area seeking this type of education and schedule, please call Carol Watts at (714)289-1140.
