Lexington Friends Meeting holds unprogrammed meetings for worship each Sunday at 649 Price Avenue. The schedule is as follows:
On the First Sunday of each month we have Meeting for Business after worship. On Third Sundays we have fellowship and a shared meal (bring fixings for sandwiches or soup) after worship. Visitors are always welcome. An access ramp is available on the Southwest side, beginning near the rear Parking lot. The Meetinghouse phone number (answering machine) is (859) 254-3319. To contact us by mail, write to: Lexington Friends Meeting, 649 Price Avenue, Lexington, KY 40508. There is an e-mail link at the bottom of this page. Potlucks are held on the First and Third Friday evenings of each month, either at the Meetinghouse or in members' homes. The First Friday potluck discussion usually centers on spiritual issues. The Third Friday potluck may include a discussion on a topic of interest or be solely a social gathering. Each Spring, Lexington Friends hold a weekend retreat at the Pine Mountain Settlement School in Harlan County, KY. The weekend usually includes discussions or workshops, guided wildflower walks in the woods, children's program, an organ recital and hymn singing, socializing, and a talent show. In September Friends from throughout Kentucky come together for the All Kentucky Friends Gathering. The location varies from year to year; it is usually near one of the monthly meetings (Louisville, Berea, Lexington). This is a weekend of worship, workshops, discussions, a children's program, and fun. Lexington Friends Meeting is a member of Ohio Valley Yearly Meeting(OVYM) and so is associated with Friends General Conference(FGC). Lexington Friends Meeting supports Friend Committee Against the Death Penalty (FCADP), and the "Quaker Committee on Kentucky Legislation" (QCKL) which is the public voice for Kentucky Quakers on state, national and international issues. QCKL focuses education and advocacy on only those issues on which all Kentucky Quaker Meetings have united. |
