The Mar Thoma Suvisesha Sevika Sangham, the women’s wing of the Mar Thoma Church, was inaugurated in 1919 at the historic Maramon Convention under the leadership of Abraham Mar Thoma Suffragan Metropolitan, who offered continuous support and inspiration for its mission.
From the very beginning of our Lord’s ministry, women played an important role. They were among His most faithful followers—last at the cross and first to witness the resurrection. In the Church today, women continue to play a vital role in serving others, not through eloquence or scholarship, but through a kind heart and a willingness to serve.
At Bethel Mar Thoma Church, Bedford, the Sevika Sangham is committed to living out this legacy. The fellowship is centered on service—supporting the poor and needy, contributing to charitable causes, and strengthening the spiritual life of the parish. Through their dedication, the women of the Sevika Sangham actively uphold the mission of the Church in both spiritual and social spheres.
Sevika Sangham meetings are held once a month in the presence of the Vicar, and area fellowship meetings are organized in the homes of prayer group members. In the absence of the Vicar, these meetings are led by the elected representatives of the Sangham. At the parish level, the Bethel Sevika Sangham meets on the 3rd Sunday of every month after the service.
