Women of Galilee: the faith that met the risen Christ

At Churchill Christian Fellowship for Ladies Day, we gather to remember and learn from the women of Galilee — those who first stood at the empty tomb, whose quiet courage and steadfast devotion met the risen Christ and changed the course of history. In a world that often measures worth by visibility and power, their story invites us to a different witness: faithful presence in the shadows, prayerful attention to small details, and bold proclamation born of encounter. As Australian women today — carrying busy households, workplaces and communities across Gippsland and beyond — we are called to the same blend of tender service and audacious faith. Let this be a day to celebrate their example, to find strength in shared devotion, and to leave renewed, ready to recognize Christ in ordinary places and to speak of him with confident, gracious love.
