As a landmark, there's a La Quinta Hotel just south of the Quix (across Loop 121). Exit 292 is also just past the exit for highway 190 to Killeen.
If you are coming from south of where Loop 121 crosses over I-35, from I-35 take exit 292 (also the exit for Loop 121 & the Bell County Expo center). Turn left on Loop 121 over I-35. Just as you cross over I-35 & the south bound access road, the Quix station will be on your right.

The program at San Gabriel will be on "Breakthrough Congregations". A short (12 minute) DVD will be shown about a growing congregation of around 120 adult members. This will be followed by discussion
If you'd rather meet us there, here are directions:
The Activity Center/Atrium can be reached if you are coming from the South on I-35. Exit 261A and turn left onto Williams Dr. at the stoplight and drive about 6 miles. You will turn right at the stoplight into Sun City and continue on Del Webb Blvd. You will pass a stop light, pass the Legacy Hills Golf sign and turn right on to Texas Drive. The Activity Center/Atrium is the large building on your right.
