Lydia Circle 

 

            The Lydia Circle is bringing new growth and possibility to our women's ministry. This circle is comprised of individuals who contribute $500 or more per year to the ministry of Mennonite Women USA.

Since its beginning in 2003, 108 persons and households have donated at the Lydia level. Many continue to give each year.
