Edavaka Mission
The spiritual renewal in the Church created a yearning to
present the gospel to others. Every member of the Church should
be a missionary filled with such joy and assurance of salvation
as to be Christ's witness to those who come into contact with
them, irrespective of one's work or profession in secular
life
Dublin Marthoma Congregation Mission meets every alternate
Friday at 8.30 pm. After the meditation, members spent time
for intercessory prayers. House visits, helping charitable
activities are the programmes of our Edavaka Mission. The
object of this organization is to equip every member of the
parish to witness Jesus Christ.

The Women in the Mar Thoma Church also shares the
spiritual power generated by the Reformation. They also felt
the need and responsibility to take part in the spread of
the gospel. Therefore, an organization for women's participation
in evangelism was inaugurated during the Maramon Convention
in the year 1919, under the leadership of Abraham Mar Thoma
Suffragan Metropolitan. All women in a parish are members
of the Sevika Sanghom.
Dublin Marthoma Congregation Sevika Sanghom meets every alternative
Saturday after the service. Bible Study, Discussion on the
Family related issues and Bible Quizzes are conducted. Every
year, this organization raises funds to be donated to the
charitable causes.
Sunday School
In the Mar Thoma Church, Sunday Schools play a very significant
role in the spiritual renewal and growth of her generation.
The formal inauguration of the Sunday School Samajam comprising
all the Schools, which had already been started in the parishes,
took place at Maramon Convention in 1905. 'Come to Jesus and
bring every child to Jesus' is the motto of our Sunday school.
In Dublin Marthoma Congregation, Sunday School classes are
held every alternative Saturday at 2.30pm. There classes for
children from 5 years to 15 years. By the time the Sunday
school course is completed, the students will have sound knowledge
of the scriptures and the doctrines of the Church.
