The Women’s Fellowship with its motto “Arise and Shine” (Isaiah
60:1.) endeavors to unite the women, empower them and equip them
for Christian witness.
Bible study classes, where participation is very high, are
conducted on the first and third Saturdays of the month.
Intercessory prayers are held in the Church on Fridays. Women
perceive it as an opportunity to be in God’s presence, casting
into oblivion all their uncertainties.
Women’s Fellowship organises pre-marital counseling, and visits
slums, prisons and Asha Bhavan (Home for Mentally Challenged) to
provide succour to the disadvantaged. The Fellowship partakes in
the Harvest Festival and in all social activities in the Church,
takes an active part in divine worship during the Women’s Sunday
celebrations, presents the message at outstation churches on the
occasion of Women’s Sunday, and visits the outstations to
interact with women. To provide companionship and relief to the
lonely, visits to homes of the aged, and the sick and the
forlorn of the Parish are arranged on fourth Saturdays. The visit
to the IXth Ward of the General Hospital, Trivandrum, where the
abandoned of the society seek refuge, is an opportunity to
attend to the marginalised. Annual Scholarships jointly
sponsored by Women’s Fellowship and the Zenana Mission are
awarded to nursing students.
Mobilizing funds through generous donations from the members of
the Church, Women’s Fellowship distributed Cancer Care for Life
Certificates to families for whom medical treatment was
unaffordable. The inclusive project encompassed all segments of
the society.
The penchant for social causes drew eminent doctors from the
Regional Cancer Centre, Trivandrum to the Cancer Awareness
Programme organized by the Women’s Fellowship. The discussion on
multiple aspects of cancer among men and women was enlightening. |
