This was the scene outside the Mission Center last weekend! Sunday as we waited for the tent to come down, a group of us gathered for Family Brunch at Sammy’s Cafe in Rancho Cucamonga. Thank you to everyone who had breakfast with us. It was fun!

June is tomorrow! Happy June everyone. Summer planning is still happening but there are a few things that are already on the calendar.

Pomona Valley Pride

PVP is working on several things for the month of June! Click the link and check out their social media for more info.

Over the last year, we have really had a chance to get to know some of their members and work with their PRISM community to build relationships that exist inside and outside of the church. They are doing great work, and always looking for new ways to engage with the community. If you haven’t had a chance to stop by and see them, I highly encourage it.

Suggestions?
