Welcome to Lydia's Sisters

Lydia’s Sisters is a ministry of the women of the Church of Christ in Hurley, Mississippi — a place where women of faith gather to pray, study, and grow together in the love of Christ. Like Lydia, whose story shines brightly in Acts 16, we seek to be prayerful, humble, obedient, faithful, and hospitable — reflecting Christ in all we do.

Learning from Lydia


From just a few verses in the Bible (Acts 16:12–15, 40), we understand so much about Lydia — a woman of beautiful faith.
Lydia was a businesswoman from Thyatira, known for her trade in purple dyes. Living in Philippi, she gathered with other godly women by the riverside to pray. Her speech and actions reveal to us that she was prayerful, humble, obedient, faithful, and hospitable. She and her household are the first recorded conversions in Europe after Paul's vision that led him to Macedonia. After being released from prison, Paul and Silas went immediately to her home, which became a place of welcome, worship, and encouragement, and her story continues to inspire us today.
Peter wrote in I Peter 3:6 that we are Sarah's daughters if we follow her example in courage and well-doing. If Sarah’s daughters, let's also be Lydia's sisters in the family of God, praying steadfastly and meditating on God's Word with humility and faithfulness.

“Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”
— Jeremiah 29:12-13
