• NEW: Part-time (Live or Video) means you will attend the meetings which you have selected to attend
  based on your schedule. You can only be marked excused or absent from the meetings you selected.
  You are allowed to attend any of the unselected meeting(s). The new registration forms will list
  the meetings to be selected when the part-time option is selected.
• Full-time shared seat: A part-time shared seat is not allowed. Any shared seat must be occupied Full-

The Church in Irvine will resume its Truth Pursuit starting March 10, 2024 with the Life-Study of Zechariah (messages 1 and 2).

Since starting the Truth Pursuit program in March 2005, the church has covered 1,623 Life-Study messages at a relatively modest pace of 2 messages per week! Anyone following this program would have now read 81.8% of the 1,984 total messages in the Life-Studies, including both Old Testament and New Testament. At this pace, we will complete the Life-Studies in their entirety by sometime in 2026!
Reading two messages of the Life-Studies a week is very feasible. For instance, the Life-Study of Zechariah has 97 pages broken up into 15 chapters. This translates to slightly more than 2 pages of Life-Studies daily (assuming you read 6 days a week). Depending on the pace of reading, this could take roughly 5 minutes of your time each day.

Additionally, in order to assist your digestion of the Life-Study messages, the church can send you emails each week with study questions to direct your considerations for each Life-Study message. If you do not receive these emails currently, you are welcome to join the church’s email distribution list by clicking HERE and signing up to receive these emails.

Given the reasonableness of following the church’s truth pursuit schedule, we encourage all the saints to join in this corporate pursuit of the truth in the ministry together as we all seek to arrive at the oneness of the faith and of the full knowledge of the Son of God, at a full-grown man, at the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ! (Eph. 4:13)

Registration for this year's Summer Bible Camp is now open! The registration form is available on the SBC website (sbc.churchinirvine.org). The deadline to register is Lord's day, May 5th.

We have resumed the bi-weekly working saints fellowship with Brother Minoru. The next meeting is Thursday, April 18, from 8:00 - 8:30p.m. over Zoom. We hope as many as are able to could attend this time.

May the Lord in 2024 continue to bring us more into His burden for shepherding others!

Heb. 10:25 Not abandoning our own assembling together, as the custom with some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more as you see the day drawing near.

Acts 2:46b, "... and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of their food with exultation and simplicity of heart."

Dear saints,

We are excited to announce a wonderful opportunity to blend with the young people - The Young People's Progressive Dinner. This is one of the most anticipated events of the year during which the young people travel to different homes to progressively enjoy three courses - appetizer, dinner, and dessert. It is a time of blending where the young people and families get to know one another as fellow members of the household of God. We hope you can consider opening your home for this purpose by signing up for either appetizer, dinner, or dessert. Each home will have a choice to host either 10 or 15 people. The proposed schedule for the evening is as follows:

5:30pm-6:15pm     Appetizer in first home

6:30pm-7:30pm     Dinner in second home

7:45pm-8:30pm     Dessert in third home

Please sign up using this link: https://forms.gle/un7FrWV7gHCfgU647

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Charles Lee (626) 371-6227 or Phoebe Jaramillo (818) 481-8319.

Grace be with you,

The YP Serving Ones

Dear brothers and sisters,

Offerings to the church in Irvine can now be made via Zelle.

The church’s Zelle account is: Zelle@churchinirvine.org

The benefit of making offerings by Zelle is that there are no transaction fees charged to the church. If the offering is for a particular matter please designate that in the memo field.

If your Zelle limit is below the offering amount you would like to give, it is often possible to raise that limit by requesting that your bank increase your transaction limit.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For those already using Zelle related to other matters (e.g., paying rent for corporate housing), you should continue using the same Zelle address as before.

For any questions please email offering@churchinirvine.org. (Note: Do not Zelle funds to this email address)
