In the beginning (Genesis 1.1-4)

¹In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, ²the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. ³Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light. ⁴And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. ⁵God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

We are, each of us, called to witness to the Gospel, to act as lights in the world (Matthew 5.14-16), revealing what it means to follow Jesus, to have his compassion and charity for the world.  For each of us that means a different thing, using our talents for the good of the wider community.

Thanks to the hard work of Tony & Graham, we are now able to see properly again in Church, with our full complement of lights.  We give thanks for them and for all the people amongst us who work behind the scenes to help the family of St Elisabeth's serve the wider community of Reddish.

The St Elisabeths website is up and running! Visit our site to learn about our fellowship, the latest news, and upcoming events.

To help support the cost of repairs to the Lead stolen from our roof, we held a community event in Houldswoth Square to raise money. The event raised £1856 from a sponsored cycle ride from Lands End to John 'o Groats.
