Right now, St. Lydia's is stepping into a moment of possibility. We are finding ways to safely share a sacred meal. We are extending wide and deep welcome to newcomers and old friends. And importantly, we are exploring opportunities to continue growing, including deepening our relationship to the divine and one another through art, offering joyful space for neighbors, and imagining new ways to pursue justice and healing. 

Last year represented a significant loss of income for St. Lydia's as we weren't able to rent out our space. So, in the spirit of new connections and regathering in 2021, we are holding a friendraiser as part of our summer campaign! 

By the end of June, our goal is for 21 St. Lydians to ask 21 friends for $21, raising $441 a person—$9,261 total—to support our future. Can we count you in? 

Reaching this goal will go a long way towards our sustainability, and every single donation makes a difference. If you have felt refreshed, loved, or fed by St. Lydia's in the last year, this is a simple way to invite others to experience connection and express what this community has meant to you. You are welcome to create a personal fundraising page below for your friends and family to donate specifically towards your goal, or anyone can simply click donate at the top of this page.

If you haven't connected with St. Lydia's yet or in a while, you are still more than welcome to support our campaign! We are a progressive dinner church that seeks to dispel isolation, reconnect neighbors, and subvert the status quo. Each week, we gather to tell stories, listen for God, and share nourishment, trusting that eating, praying and singing together moves us deeper into faith. 

Thank you for the support! See you around the table.
