LCCN Women Fellowship marked
80years of existence
The
Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria Women Fellowship has clocked 80 years in
2015. The fellowship which was started in 1935 with few women today is a body
that comprises of thousands of women from all over LCCN. During the 2015 annual
Convention of the fellowship in Yola Mrs. Mary Solomon the National Leader of
the Fellowship told Lutheran Today
that the feat of the fellowship is not the one to be able to count. “We cannot
count what God has done for us as a fellowship and even among ourselves as
women through this fellowship.” She said the fellowship which has dedicated
time and effort in building the women to better wives and mothers has taught
women to be responsible citizens of the society. She said, “The Fellowship has
built many women to handle their family life well and with our continued
gathering, we have addressed issues that affected women generally.”
The
Secretary of the Fellowship Mrs. Mary Cletus stated that the joy of women being
together in fellowship is a great achievement for the fellowship. She thanked
God for using them in the fellowship and for bringing them this far.
The
fellowship has in the past sponsored pastors to seminary, trained women in life
skills and entrepreneurship, supported widows and assisted the church in many
meaningful projects. One key area of focus for the fellowship now is evangelism
which they set aside a time each to go to the mission field to evangelize to
the unreached people. The women fellowship is embarking on their Secretariat building
which is first of its kind in the LCCN. They have reached advanced level of the
building and are preparing for a fundraising which will come up on 5th
of December, 2015 at the Church Headquarters in Numan.
