Women's Ministry

When Women of Wisdom turn on an event it's a real WOW event!  Several times each year WOW runs an evening meeting specially for women.  Usually they invite somebody to speak on a topic of interest to women.  WOW events are great occasions to invite friends along to, and they have become popular in the local neighbourhood.  They are normally held in the All Saints Lounge.  Every so often a women-only weekend away is arranged and these have proved to be great fun.  These events are suitable for women of all ages.

Association of Anglican Women (AAW)

The Association of Anglican Women originated from the Mothers' Union which was first established in New Zealand in 1886. In 1969 the New Zealand Mothers' Union considered it necessary to break away from the ties of "Mother England" and form the AAW.

The aims of the AAW are:

· To unite in prayer and to participate in the mission of the church.

· To promote, nurture and safeguard Christian family life.

The AAW is a support organisation for its members both socially and spiritually. 

The Sumner-Redcliffs AAW meets at St Andrews Church on the first Wednesday of each month.  The meeting usually starts with a short service or prayers, followed by a talk by a speaker and culminates with a shared lunch.  There is a sales table each month to raise funds to sponsor a child through Christian Children’s Fund.
