I saw this bench with the words “All are welcome here” outside the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon church. In a time when we’re seeing divisions all around us, it’s nice there are places like this that exist to bring us together. The split-log bench offers everyone a peaceful place to rest and relax.
We were there for the Annual Locavore Holiday Gift Faire. Eighty-five local crafts people and food producers filled the building with amazing products. If you’re in Bend in early December, drop in to help support local small businesses.

Beautiful post 💖💓💚

Gorgeous wood. I like that they kept the shape of the tree along the edges.
Yes, I agree! Lots of knots on it too.
A beautiful bench with matching sentiment. I’m also drawn to the church’s architecture. So nouveau PNW.
Yes, it’s a nicely crafted bench and the church had wonderful architecture, Becky!
