4th of July Parade with Corona-Norco Interfaith Assoc.

This was the first year the Corona-Norco Interfaith
Association entered into the 4th of July Parade as a
group. A wonderful way to show the community what
a unified group we are.

Final Service at the Woman's Improvement Club, May 31, 2009

Our final service at the WIC was one of mixed
emotions - feeling so much gratitude for the
opportunity they had gifted Common Ground
Corona with for the past year and a half, and a
great deal of excitement for having our own
facility.

It was a beautiful service as we said thank you
and good-bye.

This day, we formed a circle as we sang God Is for

the final time at the WIC.
