On Sunday, 17th August 2025, St. Luke’s Chapel Mulago joyfully celebrated Mary Magdalene’s Day under the theme “From Brokenness to Boldness” (John 20:11–18). The day was organized by the Christian Women’s Fellowship (CWF) and brought together women of faith in thanksgiving, worship, and fellowship.

A Spirit-Filled Service

The main preacher of the day was Mrs. Deborah Olayinka from Nigeria, who delivered a powerful sermon encouraging women to rise in faith and courage, drawing inspiration from the life of Mary Magdalene.

Drawing from John 20:11–18, she emphasized how Mary moved from sorrow and despair at the empty tomb to boldness after encountering the risen Christ. She also highlighted Luke 8:1–3, reminding the congregation that Mary was among the women who faithfully supported Jesus’ ministry.

Encouraging women to trust in God during their lowest moments, she quoted Psalm 34:18: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” She further called women to live with strength and courage through 2 Timothy 1:7 and Proverbs 31:25, urging them to embrace the boldness that comes from Christ.

Fellowship and Conference

After the service, all women gathered for a warm luncheon that provided time for bonding, encouragement, and sharing experiences of Christian womanhood.

Later in the afternoon, a Women’s Conference was held in the Sunday school building under the theme “The Character of a Christian Woman.” The sessions equipped women with biblical principles to live boldly and faithfully in today’s world.
