Women’s Conference Held in Diocese of Pokhara

More than 70 women attended the Women’s Fellowship Seminar held from 8 May 2022 to 10 May 2022 at a Believers Eastern Church parish in Tanahu district, Nepal.

The vicar general of Pokhara Diocese, Women’s Fellowship in-charge of Kathmandu Archdiocese, district leader, area leader and the diocesan women’s fellowship leader were the resource persons at the seminar.

Topics covered during the conference included: Liturgical worship, head covering, Mother Mary’s obedience to God’s will, importance of fasting and giving, Christian family, and the important role of local women fellowships in the church.

On the penultimate day of the conference, a quiz competition was organized for the participants. The quiz was based on the Epistles of Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians. Nine teams representing nine different parishes in Tanahu district took part in the competition. The local women’s fellowship team of Believers Eastern Church Pyughar emerged the winner of the quiz competition.

In between sessions, the participants were also given the opportunity to present songs, dances and action songs.

Man Kumari Rai said, “I am thankful to the church for arranging this program because of which I could be blessed. I am blessed by all sessions. I could learn more about the responsibility of women in the family and especially in the church.”

Another participant named Tara Thapa said, “ I can’t read and write properly, but my local women’s fellowship leader encouraged me to take part in the quiz competition. This was the first time that I took part in a competition like this and our team could get third prize. I feel so elated. I was blessed by all the sessions, especially learning about the Blessed Mother Mary, and head covering.”
