Abstract
This study aims to describe Lidya's Worship as a form of pastoral care by the Congregation of GPM Hatusua for widows and to examine it within the social context that continues to stigmatize them. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method using a contextual pastoral approach, incorporating interviews and observation. The findings indicate that Lidya's Worship is not merely a liturgical routine but functions as a pastoral praxis providing a healing space for socially vulnerable group. Within a contextual and intercultural pastoral framework, worship is understood as a medium of liberation that reconstructs relationships, identity, and dignity, particularly for marginalized members of the congregation. Therefore, Lidya's Worship represents a concrete manifestation of the church's engagement in fostering fellowship that restores the dignity of widows amid cultural and social pressures.
Abstrak
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan Kebaktian Lidya sebagai bentuk pelayanan pastoral di Jemaat GPM Hatusua kepada ibu-ibu janda, serta menelaahnya dalam kaitan dengan konteks sosial masyarakat yang masih memberi stigma kepada mereka. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif deskriptif melalui pendekatan pastoral kontekstual dengan teknik wawancara dan observasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Kebaktian Lidya tidak hanya sekadar menjadi liturgi yang bersifat rutin, tetapi berfungsi sebagai praksis pastoral yang menghadirkan ruang pemulihan bagi kelompok yang mengalami kerentanan sosial. Dalam kerangka pastoral kontekstual dan interkultural, ibadah dipahami sebagai medium pembebasan yang merekonstruksi relasi, identitas, dan martabat umat, khususnya bagi mereka yang terpinggirkan. Dengan demikian, Kebaktian Lidya menjadi wujud nyata keterlibatan gereja dalam menghadirkan persekutuan yang memulihkan martabat para janda di tengah tekanan budaya dan sosial.
