Welcome to the Family of St. Elizabeth's Church, Horwich.
We are a vibrant, relaxed and family orientated friendly church and we are delighted to welcome new people.
Please take a few moments to read this information and to look through our pages. Please use this contact email if you wish to know any more. Contact Us
Our services and their 'types' are listed under the 'Worship / Services' tab. Worship / Services
There are also details of seasonal services during Advent (before Christmas) and Lent (before Easter).
There is ample parking outside the Church and on the adjacent car park. Find Us
All our morning services begin at 10.00 am.
(Once a month there is also an additional 1662 Communion Service which starts at 8.45 am).
There are usually people at the church from 9.40 am and we meet and chat before the service. The young people join us in Church at the start of the service and then leave after (usually) the second hymn for their own groups.
If we have children too young for Sunday Club there is a carpeted area at the back of Church with activity bags and toys for them to enjoy whilst we have an opportunity to listen to the service.
There is a kitchen and toilet to one side of the building and also the vestry if youngsters need some time out. Please don't feel anxious about any happy noise, crying or general disturbance. We are used to it and very glad to have you with us. Usually the leaders and preachers (speakers) are completely unfazed by it all and just carry on without pausing!
We have service books which guide us through the service words and routine, with Church members (who have been asked previously) helping out with notices, readings from the Bible and prayers.
We have an up to date P.A. system (with a T loop system available) and are keen on powerpoint presentations, video clips and visual aids!
If it is a Communion service (sharing bread and wine) the wardens guide us up to the front in turn.
Following all the morning services there are refreshments in the vestry (part of the Church) and the opportunity to chat, make friends and catch up with the news of the past week. There is always someone to talk to!! If we have young people in Sunday Club or Pathfinders they join us in Church when they finish or we collect them from the Church Hall behind the Church.
We have a weekly notice sheet which you are welcome to take away with you which outlines the events for the coming week and flags up meetings / information of importance. The most recent is available on the web site with some back dated issues too. Weekly Notice Sheet
