The Bible tells us of a woman named Lydia. She was identified as a woman who sold expensive purple cloth. She probably knew how to make beautiful things out of this expensive purple cloth. Throughout Scripture we read accounts of women who used their gifts and talents as an offering of worship to the Lord.
In honor of this woman who put her faith in Jesus, we gather together to teach and learn from one another how to use our gifts and talents to beautify our homes, care for our families, and serve others in the name of Jesus.
This year’s Lydia Ladies event will be a bit different from past year’s events. We are meeting on one day together at church. Various classes will be offered in various rooms on the campus. We will enjoy a fellowship time of coffee and muffins while we make new friends and learn new things.
How it Works – below you will see a list of the various classes that will be offered on this day. Each class lasts for one hour. You will be able to take two classes in the time we have allotted.
It is essential that you register for the classes you want to take so we can plan appropriately.
