There’s something special about slowing down, stepping away from the routine, and enjoying an afternoon together — and that’s exactly what we’ll be doing on Sunday, October 4 as the women of Friendly Church climb aboard the historic Belle of Louisville for a scenic two‑hour cruise up the Ohio River.
This classic paddlewheel steamboat has been a Louisville treasure for more than a century, offering peaceful views, fresh air, and a charming step back in time. It’s the perfect setting for connection, laughter, and friendship as we spend the afternoon together.
We’ll leave the church at 11:30 AM to board at noon, and the cruise will run from 1:00–3:00 PM. Snacks and beverages will be available for purchase onboard. (Please note: outside food and drinks aren’t permitted, but empty water bottlesmay be brought and filled at the onboard water stations.)
Tickets are $19.99 for seniors and $21.99 for adults. Registration closes Sunday, September 27, so be sure to reserve your spot soon!
We hope you’ll join us for this relaxing and memorable outing — a chance to enjoy the beauty of the river, the charm of the Belle, and the joy of being together.
