We Welcome You
Welcome to the Louisville Friends Meeting. Our meetings for worship are open to all who seek friendship and inspiration. Our fondest hope is that you will personally experience these feelings during your visit.

We gather in silence each First Day (Sunday) at 10:30 a.m. to share the Light of God that dwells in each of us and seek divine guidance. Our hour of worship may be entirely silent or there may be spoken messages out the thoughts that come to us as we worship together. Those who worship with us do not come with a determination to speak or not to speak. They want simply to be responsive to the inner Light.

When a worshiper feels personally called to speak, she or he rises and shares that message as simply and concisely as nature permits. Others who feel in unity with the messages we hear may feel called to speak likewise or simply to pray on their understanding of these messages.

Worship begins as Friends enter our meeting room to take their seats in the quiet. We feel there is a need for some period of unbroken silence at the beginning. This period generally lasts about fifteen minutes, after which the children depart for educational activities with our childrens' leaders.

After approximately one hour, a Friend will initate handshakes around the room to close our worship service. We hope that you will also linger with us after that to take part in our fellowship.
