Sixth Week of Easter

Acts 16:11-15, Ps 149, John 15:26-16:4

‘Come and stay’

Lydia is a woman for our time. A businesswoman and head of her household, she heard the Word of God and responded generously. She persuaded Paul to accept her hospitality, making her home the first worshipping community in the region. Lydia was a pioneer female Church leader. The orthodox churches give her the title ‘Equal to the Apostles.’ Invite others to come, stay and pray in your home. You will be a living witness to love in your neighbourhood.
