The Divya Shanthi Women’s Fellowship started functioning as an important wing of the Church from 1978; few women would gather every Saturday evening for a time of prayer and fellowship. The first office bearers were:

Mrs. Graham – President
Mrs. Prema Santosh – Secretary
Mrs. Zachariah Thomas – Treasurer

The following activities were carried out on a regular basis: Bible study, house visiting, prayer time and counselling.

Over the years, under the leadership of various Presidents, the Women’s Fellowship grew with varied activities. At every Harvest Festival the members of the women’s fellowship take charge of the food court and raise funds for the Church. Every year a gold ornament is donated on behalf of the Women’s Fellowship towards the Church auction. Cooking demonstrations were held and members were taught how to make innovative decorations for Christmas. Once a year, a day-long retreat is conducted for the women of the Church.

The first newsletter of the Women’s Fellowship entitled “The Olive Branch” was released in December 2008. Four editions have already been circulated. Many congregation members were given an opportunity to share their testimonies and thoughts.

Some funds from the Women’s Fellowship have been allocated to supply groceries to needy families and also to provide financial assistance to children to meet part of their school fees and other expenses. Once a month breakfast sales were conducted to raise money. Every year a ‘Women’s Sunday’ is observed with the Women’s Fellowship playing major part in the service. The Women’s Fellowship has proved to be a channel of blessing to individuals, families and to the Church at large.
