In the interests of your spiritual well-being here are some local hangouts courtesy of Wikipedia if you're interested. I hear some of them serve decent wine? :idontknow:

"Religion
Religious institutions of higher learning in Eugene include Northwest Christian University and New Hope Christian College. Northwest Christian University (formerly Northwest Christian College), founded in 1895, has ties with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). New Hope Christian College (formerly Eugene Bible College) originated with the Bible Standard Conference in 1915, which joined with Open Bible Evangelistic Association to create Open Bible Standard Churches in 1932. Eugene Bible College was started from this movement by Fred Hornshuh in 1925.[53]

There are two Eastern Orthodox Church parishes in Eugene: St John the Wonderworker Orthodox Christian Church in the Historic Whiteaker Neighborhood[54][55] and Saint George Greek Orthodox Church.[56]

There are six Roman Catholic parishes in Eugene as well: St. Mary Catholic Church,[57] St. Jude Catholic Church, St. Mark Catholic Church, St. Peter Catholic Church, St. Paul Catholic Church, and St. Thomas More Catholic Church.[58]

Eugene also has a Ukrainian Catholic Church named Nativity of the Mother of God.[59]

There is a mainline Protestant contingency in the city as well—such as the largest of the Lutheran Churches, Central Lutheran[60] near the U of O Campus and the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection.[61]

The Eugene area has a sizeable LDS Church presence, with three stakes, consisting of 23 congregations (wards and branches).[62] The Portland Oregon Temple is the nearest temple.[63]

The greater Eugene-Springfield area also has a Jehovah's Witnesses presence with five Kingdom Halls, several having multiple congregations in one Kingdom Hall.

The Reconstructionist Temple Beth Israel is Eugene's largest Jewish congregation.[64] It was also, for many decades, Eugene's only synagogue,[65][66] until Orthodox members broke away in 1992 and formed "Congregation Ahavas Torah".[67][68]

Eugene has a community of some 140 Sikhs, who have established a Sikh temple.[69]

The 340-member congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Eugene (UUCE)[70] purchased the former Eugene Scottish Rite Temple in May 2010, renovated it, and began services there in September 2012.

Saraha Nyingma Buddhist Temple in Eugene[71] opened in 2012 in the former site of the Unitarian Universalist Church?

You, Mr Lucky Dawg that you are, are smack dab in the middle of Hoptown USA! Enjoy but please save some for the rest of us! :yup:

"Hops are picky about where they'll grow. The sweet spot is between the 35th and 55th parallels of both hemispheres where hops get long day-length, hot summers, and just as importantly, cold winters. All of the world's major hop growing regions are found between these parallels from the Pacific Northwest of the United States to England, Belgium, and Germany in Europe."

"Today, the Pacific Northwest states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho's panhandle grow 97.8 percent of the hops in the United States. Anchored by its famous Yakima Valley, Washington alone accounts for almost 74 percent of the domestic industry.?"
