Directions: If you are traveling on the parkway heading to the airport, get off the Carnegie/Heidelberg exit (exit 2). The ramp splits. Take the left lane (Heidelberg). This turns into Lydia Street. Less than 1/2 of a mile, you will see a large parking lot on the right, on the left is a business called Xi-tech. Park in the lot on the right. The church is the last building on the right, next to the parking lot. Lydia Street ends at Washington Ave. If you are coming from the parkway towards downtown, take the Carnegie exit again. Directions are the same because that ramp drops onto Lydia Ave. Newsletter
