Thursday May 5, 2011: An Evening of Unity and Interfaith Connections
First we gathered at the Upland Civic Center for the National Day of Prayer where we joined many interfaith friends for an inspiring service. Jan led the invocation and our choir brought joy to all. Then we went to Mimi's Cafe in Upland to celebrate Jan's 9th Year at Unity. Many our of interfaith friends joined us there.
I give thanks for our many connections in the community and the way so many of us support each other.
