AUSTRALIAN CHURCH WOMEN - TASMANIA STATE UNIT

About Us: We are Christian women who meet together proclaiming our allegiance to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, in accordance with the Bible. We come from numerous Christian denominations.

History: Austalian Church Women developed in Tasmania in 1970. It began with an established group who were known as "Interchurch Women". The primary interest for these women was to keep in touch with and visit sick women, especially those in hospitals.

Statement of Faith: To provide opportunities for Christian worship, study, fellowship and service across the present divisions of the Church.

Aims: To help Christian women to take a more effective place in the total life and mission of the Church.

Number of branches: There is one branch meeting in Launceston under the leadership of newly appointed President, Mrs Ruth Minol.
Many women throughout the State come together for State meetings and the two Special Days Services.

The Annual General Meeting is held in Launceston on the fourth Monday in May, Mrs Ronnie Palmer is the State President.

Special Days: Please check the "Events" page of this website for details. The Winifred Kiek Scholarship is celebrated at the Fellowship Day Service held in the last week of July.

The Fellowship of the Least Coin is remembered at the World Community Day Service during the last week of October.

As members of Australian Church women, we are partners with our sisters belonging to Asian Church Women's Conference.

Spiritual Days: For many years the Branch in Launceston has set aside a day for Prayer and Meditation in support of women in Myanmar, Hong Kong and Pakistan.

We invite enquiries from interested women at any time. Brochures for perusal are available on request from the Secretary Mrs Juanita Miller - email address: Email: djjmmiller@bigpond.com
