ways to participate
Below are some ways to be a part of our life at St. Lydia’s. If you’d like to contribute, write stlydias@stlydias.org for more information.
Cook A Meal
Volunteer to be a lead cook, coordinating one of our weekly meals. You plan a meal that can be cooked by a group of congregants in about 45 minutes. We’ll provide the ingredients.
Bring Dessert, Wine, or Something to drink
Offerings of dessert or wine are always welcome! Dessert takes place during the hubbub of cleanup, so cookies or dessert bars that don’t require plates or silverware work well. We drink red wine every week, and always offer a drink that is free of alcohol.
Bring Flowers
Bring flowers to Lydia’s anytime to brighten our space.
Make things
We’re always looking for homemade goodness (pottery, tablecloths, candles) to augment our worship.
Give Money
Support the work of St. Lydia’s financially. From donations of $5.00 to $25,000, we are in need of financial support as we grow. Our vision includes one day moving into our own church building that will function as a community space for the arts. Be a part of supporting that vision by sending a check made out to St. Lydia’s to :

Advise us
We’re looking for folks who have specialized skills to help us move forward. Experience in finance for not-for-profits as well as marketing and fundraising is welcomed.
