This Sunday, Christians around the globe join together in celebrating World Communion Sunday. As Christians, we unilaterally celebrate the sacrament of communion. But as Christians who observe our faith differently. We do that in different ways across the world and across our different denominations. Some Christians celebrate communion every time they gather, while others reserve it for special occasions. Some use bread and wine, and others wafers and grape juice. Still others use a combination of the two approaches.

Rachel Klemek is coming to Costa Mesa to make bread. Lots of it. The Irvine resident's Blackmarket Bakery is expanding her business to a second location at the Camp. Unlike the original Blackmarket - "hidden away" for nearly eight years on Sky Park Circle in Irvine, near John Wayne Airport - this one off Bristol Street is going to have a rotating rack bread oven. With it, Klemek and her team plan to be going "heavy duty" on rolls and buns as well as selling Kéan coffee, items from the Marché Noir line, Blackmarket favorites and some new desserts.

COSTA MESA — Their presence creates a scene from a wildlife painting. They wobble and wiggle, following one another en masse. But the ducks, geese and other water fowl at TeWinkle Park are polluting and damaging the park, requiring thousands of dollars in cleanup and repair costs. In response, the City Council voted last month to make it illegal to feed ducks, fish and other wildlife in or around the lake at TeWinkle. The ordinance is scheduled to come back to the City Council Tuesday for a second and final vote before adoption.

Handsome and refined but not stuffy, Pinot Provence is the South Coast outpost of Joachim Splichal’s Patina Group, along with Leatherby’s Café Rouge. This Los Angeles chef is slowly building an empire of attractive restaurants with consistently good food. Authentic Provençal French food is the star here, with classics like escargots, soupe a l’oignon, moules frites and magret de canard. The high-ceiling dining room looks like the great hall of a chateau in Avignon.

One of my first stops when I am in San Francisco is to head to Fisherman’s Wharf and grab a sourdough bread bowl full of steaming clam chowder and go sit by the edge of the dock and watch the boats with Alcatraz in the distance. The sourdough and the chowder are a perfect mix, and looking out onto the water is the ideal way to begin a trip to one of my favorite cities. Boudin has been making a majority of those sourdough loaves since 1849 and I can still remember my mother instructing my father to bring home as many as he could carry whenever he would go on business trips.

COSTA MESA — Adriana Guaradado lost count of how many loaves of Rosca de Reyes bread her bakery made Saturday. Suffice to say that her kitchen contained many cases of dough, many bowls of fruit and many tiny statues of the baby Jesus. La Espiga de Oro, a Westside bakery at 805 W. 19th St., bakes dozens of loaves — at least — of Rosca de Reyes bread every Jan. 5 in preparation for the Twelfth Night holiday the following day. During the Catholic holiday, which celebrates the arrival of the Magi, families in Mexico and other countries serve circular loaves of bread with cinnamon, figs, cherries and other toppings.

Sage Hill School has played some of its best football of the season in its first two league games. The Lightning want to keep that trend going even as they step outside the Academy League realm for a week, playing host to Animo High tonight at 7 in a nonleague contest. Sage Hill Coach Tom Monarch said the game is a good chance for the Lightning (4-3, 2-0 in league), ranked No. 8 in the CIF Southern Section Northeast Division, to practice fundamentals. "My primary concern is just fundamentals and execution," Monarch said.

We agree with Jeff Parker of the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce. The Saturday night of this year's Taste of Newport ? Sept. 16, to be precise ? is "just going to be the place to be in Newport Beach." The chamber last week announced the line-up for the main performers at the Taste, which runs Sept. 15 to 17 in Newport Center, and the Go-Go's ? the Los Angeles all-girl band that is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its first album ? play Saturday night. Friday night's headliner is alternative rock band Smash Mouth, and on Sunday ?
