Where We Meet
 
We currently meet at 11 a.m. at The Spiritual Awareness Community Sanctuary, 157 NW Franklin Avenue, Bend.  Parking is available. 
 
What Happens When You Arrive
 
When you arrive at our Sunday service, our greeters will welcome you and ask you to fill out a visitor questionnaire if you would like. You'll receive a nametag and an order of service, and can then find a seat anywhere in the meeting room. Dress up or dress down (we're a fairly casual bunch), and get ready to enjoy the service. 
 
After the Service
 
Most services end by 12:15 PM, though they may end slightly earlier or later. After the service, we gather for coffee and conversation. We hope to see you soon!
